Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the determination of oxidizing properties (required in section 7.13) is not applicable to gases.
In general, molecular chlorine is a strong oxidiser and chlorinating agent, adding to double bonds in aliphatic compounds or undergoes substitution reactions with aliphatic and aromatic species.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- yes
Additional information
Molecular chlorine is a strong oxidiser and chlorinating agent, adding to double bonds in aliphatic compounds or undergoes substitution reactions with aliphatic ad aromatic species and is thus classified as oxid. gas cat.1 (H 270: may cause or intensify fire; oxidizer) according to CLP (GHS).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Molecular chlorine is a strong oxidiser and chlorinating agent, adding to double bonds in aliphatic compounds or undergoes substitution reactions with aliphatic ad aromatic species and is thus classified as oxid. gas cat.1 (H 270: may cause or intensify fire; oxidizer) according to CLP (GHS).
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.
