Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Preliminary Study (Screening Test)
The flammability of dehydroacetic acid sodium salt was determined by ignition of a cluster with a length of 250 mm, a width of 20 mm and a height of 10 mm with the hot flame of a gas burner.
The test item was not flammable within 2 minutes by the flame of the gas burner within the ignition zone (the first 50 mm of the formed test item).
During the treatment with the flame of the gas burner and within the flame zone, the test item glowed yellow-orange and changed its powdery appearance by forming a voluminous, porous, black-greyish residuum. After removing the gas burner flame, the test item did not burn self-actingly. By contact the black-greyish residuum disintegrated into a kind of powder and revealed the subjacent test item in its apparently original appearance.
The test item has to be classified and “Not readily combustible solid”.
Description of key information
non flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability in contact with water
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The substance dehydroacetic acid sodium salt is a not readily combustible solid (UN N.1, screening test).
Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:
Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected.
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).
