Description of key information
Study results are available for flammability (EU method A.10) and for pyrophoricity. Waiving applies for flammability in contact with water. The test item sodium sulfide, (commercial form, type ca. 60 %) could not be ignited with a flame. It is not a highly flammable solid and it has no pyrophoric properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.13. /UN test N.2. Furthermore, based on its chemical behaviour, sodium sulfide could be regarded as not flammable in contact with water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The test data (GLP, OECD guideline conform) is reliable without restrictions.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test item Sodium sulfide, (commercial form, type ca. 60 %) could not be ignited with a flame.The test item is not a flammable solid or a pyrophoric solid in the sense of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation). Furthermore, based on its chemical behaviour, sodium sulfide could be regarded as not flammable in contact with water. Thus, according to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, sodium sulfide should not be classified as flammable solid, pyrophoric solid or substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
