Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Justification for type of information:
- In accordance with Chapter R.7A - Endpoint Specific Guidance, Section R.7.1.10.3, May 2008, inorganic oxides in which the inorganic element is in its highest possible oxidation state are incapable of further reaction with oxygen and can thus be designated as non-flammable. Neodymium (III) oxide is an inorganic oxide in which the inorganic element, Neodymium, is in its highest possible oxidation state, +3. Therefore, it has been deemed scientifically unjustified to conduct the flammability study required in section 7.10. Furthermore, due to the test material being designated as non-flammable under the grounds listed above, the substance is also considered to be non-pyrophoric and non-flammable on contact with water and it is considered justified to also waive those studies. For pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water, this waiving is further supported by the absence of structural alerts and the experience from handling in which no ignition and/or liberation of flammable gases is observed when the substance is in contact with water or air.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation 1272/2008, the test material does not require classification for 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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
