Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results the test item does not need to be classified for flammability.
Executive summary:

Yeast extract powder had no ability to self-ignite:

- as simple layer, after filtering at 200 µm: self-ignition temperature > 400°C

- as suspended dust, after vacuum drying: self-ignition temperature > 500°C

Pressure was not indicated but since the systems did not seem to be closed, it was likely atmospheric pressure.
