Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Parameter:
preliminary test
Remarks on result:
mixture does not ignite and burn

With both a 4:1 and a 1:1 mixture of substance: cellulose, the burning rate was very slow causing decomposition. The test was abandoned after 300 seconds. It can be concluded that chromium oxide has no oxidising properties. Below are the tables of results;

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
With both a 4:1 and a 1:1 mixture of substance: cellulose, the burning rate was very slow causing decomposition. The test was abandoned after 300 seconds. It can be concluded that chromium oxide has no oxidising properties.
Executive summary:

With both a 4:1 and a 1:1 mixture of substance: cellulose, the burning rate was very slow causing decomposition. The test was abandoned after 300 seconds. It can be concluded that chromium oxide has no oxidising properties.

Description of key information

Chromium oxide has no oxidising properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

With both a 4:1 and a 1:1 mixture of substance: cellulose, the burning rate was very slow causing decomposition. The test was abandoned after 300 seconds. It can be concluded that chromium oxide has no oxidising properties.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification is proposed: there is no evidence that the substance is an oxidising agent.
