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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
The test item potassium cyanate did not ignite in the preliminary test. Potassium cyanate was not considered highly flammable. No further testing is required.
Description of key information
No study is available for sodium cyanate. Read across from potassium cyanate was performed instead. In aqueous solution cyanate salts dissociate very quickly to cyanate ion and the respective alkali metal ion. It is not expected that Na+ or K+ contribute to the flammability.
Potassium cyanate was shown to be not flammable. In addition no flammability in contact with water and no pyrophoric abilities are expected. These studies are thus been waived.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Read across from potassium cyanate:
Potassium cyanate did not ignite in the preliminary test. Potassium cyanate was not considered highly flammable.
In accordance with Annex I, Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.7, Section 2.9, Section 2.10 Section 2.11, Section 2.12 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and UN GHS Rev 6 (2015) the substance has not to be classified as readily combustible solid in class 4 Division 4.1, self-heating substance in Class 4 Division 4.2, substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases in Class 4 Division 4.3, pyrophoric liquid, pyrophoric solid in class 4 Division 4.2, flammable gases in class 2 or as aerosol in class 2 (the substance is a solid). No further testing is required.No further testing is required.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the flammability test (non flammable) and taking into account the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 127272008 (CLP), as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776, sodium cyanate does not have to be classified with respect to flammability.
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).
