Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
Liquid: The substance is a 25% solution in water, therefore performing a study is technically not feasible.
Solid: According to the definition in Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.16, the test item disodium tetrasulfide (EC no. 215-686-9) has to be considered as self-ignitable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 240 °C
Additional information
Solid: The self-ignition properties of the test item disodium tetrasulfide (EC no. 215-686-9) were determined in a study according to Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.16. According to this EC-Guideline, the relative self-ignition temperature of a substance is the minimum environmental temperature in °C units at which the substance is ignited under defined conditions. A defined sample of the test substance is transferred into an oven at room temperature. This oven is heated up at a rate of 0.5 K/min to either the melting point of the substance (when below 400 °C) or to 400 °C. The temperature/time curves of the oven and of the bulk of the sample are registered. The ambient temperature (oven temperature) at which the sample reaches 400 °C by self heating is stated as the relative auto-ignition temperature of the substance.
In the given test conditions the measurable start of an exothermic reaction was detected at an ambient temperature of about 170 °C to 200 °C. The sample temperature was >400 °C at an ambient temperature of about 240 °C. According to the definition in Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.16, the test item has to be considered as self-ignitable.
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.
