Test material
- Reference substance name:
- Cerium
- EC Number:
- 231-154-9
- EC Name:
- Cerium
- Cas Number:
- 7440-45-1
- Molecular formula:
- Ce

Constituent 1
Results and discussion
- Results:
- Two samples of 22.2 g were cut off from the massive cerium probe and were brought into de-ionised water at room temperature. The emited gases were measured using an appropriate gas burette. The gas emission was controlled every hour for 24 hours, after which the gas emission stopped.
The overall gas amount collected was 6,9 ml (measured under standard conditions, p = 1013,3 hPa and T=273 K), i.e. a gas development rate of 12,45 ml /Kg sample x hour.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The low gas development rate of 12,45 ml /Kg Ce x hour does not suffice to fulfill any of the classification requirements of the division 4.3, ie. packing groups I, II and III. Therefore, cerium metal shall not be considered to emit flammable gases when in contact with water.
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.
