Description of key information
An oxidising substance is one that, while in itself not necessarily combustible, may cause or contribute to the combustion of other material. Oxidising substances generally act by yielding oxygen; however, those that release active halogens can also act as oxidants. (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance; p. 139)
The field of application of graphite, acid treated covers the use as flame retardant. Despite the presence of the three substances in graphite, acid treated (nitric acid, nitrite, nitrate) no evidence of adverse chemical reactions with the packaging materials or materials, which are intended to be treated with the flame retardant, occurred during the life cycle of the product.
Oxidising substances can undergo reactions with container material consisting of metals such as steel or aluminium. These adverse effects can be detected in an assessment of the corrosiveness to metals. Based on the underlying negative testing results of the carried out test (IUCLID point 4.18 "Storage stability and reactivity towards container material") it can be argued that the oxidising properties of graphite, acid-treated are not of concern.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
