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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Remarks:
- International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) on chloride magnesium has been prepared in the context of cooperation between the International Programme in Chemical Safety and the Commission of the European Communities. The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) is a joint program of three Cooperating Organizations - WHO (World Health Organization), ILO (International Labour Organization) and UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme). This ICSC has been peer-reviewed in October 2006.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Methodological details are not reported
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Magnesium chloride is non flammable
- Executive summary:
Magnesium chloride is non flammable
Reference
Description of key information
Magnesium Chloride is non flammable according to the International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Magnesium chloride is reported to be non-flammable (Source : ICSC)
This result can be confirmed by the chemical structure of MgCl2. Since magnesium is in its most stable oxidation state, the substance is incapable of further reactions with oxygen.
For water flammability, testing can be waived based on experience in handling and use : magnesium chloride is not flammable
Justification for classification or non-classification
No classification is proposed since the substance is non flammable
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.
