Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

oxidising solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 7.13 of Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, it is considered justified to omit the testing for oxidising properties as on the basis of its chemical structure, the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials. The oxidising properties of the substance were screened based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 1999), which indicates that "the classification procedure using experimental testing need not be applied for organic compounds if the compound contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon and hydrogen." The oxygen atoms in the substance exist in two hydroxyl groups directly bonded to aromatic ring structures. Therefore, applying the internationally recognised UN Recommendations criteria, the substance is not to be classified as an oxidising material and no experimental determination is warranted.

Description of key information

In accordance with section 7.13 of Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, it is considered justified to omit the testing for oxidising properties as on the basis of its chemical structure, the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials.

The oxidising properties of the substance were screened based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 1999), which indicates that "the classification procedure using experimental testing need not be applied for organic compounds if the compound contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon and hydrogen."  The oxygen atoms in the substance exist in two hydroxyl groups directly bonded to aromatic ring structures.

Therefore, applying the internationally recognised UN Recommendations criteria, the substance is not to be classified as an oxidising material and no experimental determination is warranted.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to oxidising properties.
