Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 properties
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Type of information:
- other: Expert judgement
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Accepted and validated procedure for assessing oxidising properties on theoretical grounds.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Theoretical consideration based on chemical structure.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- Not relevant
- Sample tested:
- other: Theoretical assessment (no sample tested)
- Parameter:
- other: Theoretical assessment
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Remarks:
- Theoretical assessment
- Interpretation of results:
- other: no oxidising properties
- Conclusions:
- According to theoretical considerations based on chemical structure, terephthalic acid does not possess oxidising properties. Terephthalic acid is unlikely to cause or contribute to the combustion of other material during transport, storage or use.
Reference
Based on chemical structure, terephthalic acid does not contain any of the chemical groups associated with known oxidising substances. Although the molecular structure contains oxygen, it is not connected with chemical groups associated with oxidising properties. Terephthalic acid is not classified for transport as an oxidising substance. TPA is therefore unlikely to cause or contribute to the combustion of other material during transport, storage or use.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on chemical structure, terephthalic acid does not contain any of the chemical groups associated with known oxidising substances. Although the molecular structure contains oxygen, it is not connected with chemical groups associated with oxidising properties. Terephthalic acid is not classified for transport as an oxidising substance. TPA is therefore unlikely to cause or contribute to the combustion of other material during transport, storage or use.
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).
