Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted since the substance does not react with water, i.e. it is marketed in water solutions. - Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Handbook peer reviewed.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- No data on test method.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- other: No data.
- Remarks on result:
- other: Not combustible.
- Remarks:
- Contact with combustible materials will increase fire hazard. Thermally unstable. Decomposes above 356 deg F (180 ºC) releasing heat. Flammability: 0.0 = This degree includes any material that will not burn under typical fire conditions.
- Interpretation of results:
- non flammable
- Conclusions:
- Not combustible. Contact with combustible materials will increase fire hazard. Thermally unstable. Decomposes above 356 deg F (180 ºC) releasing heat.Flammability: 0.0 = This degree includes any material that will not burn under typical fire conditions.
- Executive summary:
Not combustible. Contact with combustible materials will increase fire hazard. Thermally unstable. Decomposes above 356 deg F (180 ºC) releasing heat. Flammability: 0.0 = This degree includes any material that will not burn under typical fire conditions.
- Endpoint:
- flammability, other
- Remarks:
- Combustibility.
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: ICSC database.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- No data on test method.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Interpretation of results:
- non flammable
- Conclusions:
- Sodium chlorite is not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
- Executive summary:
Sodium chlorite is not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
No data provided on the method.
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted since the substance is known to be stable in contact with air.

Sodium chlorite is not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
Description of key information
Weight of evidence: Sodium chlorite is not flammable.
Pyrophoricity (data waiving): According to Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted since the substance is known to be stable in contact with air.
Flammable in contact with water (data waiving): According to Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted since the substance does not react with water, i.e. it is marketed in water solutions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on available information, the substance is not classified for flammability according to the CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
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.
