Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VII, Column 2, 7.13, a study on the oxidizing properties of the substance does not need to be conducted if the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of chemical structure. According to the Technical Report on Development of an Enhanced Hazard Classification System for Oxidizing Chemicals (Ed., Buc, EC and Hoffman, DJ) by the National Fire Protection Foundation (April, 2006, Quincy, MA, U. S. A.), oxidizing chemicals are characterized as having specific oxygen or halide arrangements in their chemical structure, which can undergo oxidation/reduction reactions. Chemicals are excluded from being oxidisers if they do not contain oxygen, or if an oxygen, fluorine or chlorine is bonded only to carbon and hydrogen. As the structure of this substance contains no oxygen or halides, it is not an oxidiser and the criteria for this adaptation are met. It does not contains other functional groups associated with oxidizing properties (nitrate, nitrite, organic nitro, fluorodinitro, metal oxides, N-halogen derivatives, difluoroamino derivatives, or oxohalogen derivatives).
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the structure of this substance contains no oxygen or halides, it is not an oxidiser. It does not contains other functional groups associated with oxidizing properties (nitrate, nitrite, organic nitro, fluorodinitro, metal oxides, N-halogen derivatives, difluoroamino derivatives, or oxohalogen derivatives). Therefore, it is does not meet the criteria of an oxidizing chemical according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008.
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.
