Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
When the fuse is burned for 8 cm, it is measured the time rate of burning of the subsequent 10 cm. The test is reapeted 5 times. The average is 9.8 s.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- highly flammable
Additional information
When the fuse is burned for 8 cm, it is measured the time rate of burning of the subsequent 10 cm. The test is reapted 5 times. The average is 9.8 s.
A wetted zone could stop the propagation of the flame.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Measured burning rate for calcium hypophosphite is 9.8s per 10 cm, about 10 mm/s.
Regulation EC n. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 2, subsection 2.7.1.1 gives the following definition:
"A flammable solid means a solid which is readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction.
Readily combustible solids are powdered, granular, or pasty substances or mixtures which are dangerous if they can be easily ignited by brief contact with an ignition source, such as a burning match, and if the flame spreads rapidly."
Ca(H2PO2)2 is classified H228 cat.1 based on its burning time < 45 seconds, its burning rate > 2,2 mm/s.
A wetted zone could stop the propagation of the flame and therefore category 2 is suitable
.
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.
