Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
According “ANNEX VII - STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF ONE TONNE OR MORE” the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, on the basis of the chemical structure.
This product no has oxidizing properties.
An oxidizing substance is one that, while in itself not necessarily combustible, may cause or contribute to the combustion of other material. Oxidising substances generally act by yielding oxygen; however, those that release active halogens can also react as oxidants. (Ref. 1)
Due to the absence of chemical groups associated with oxidizing properties or other structural alerts this substance is not considered to exhibit oxidizing properties.
Therefore testing for oxidizing properties does not need to be performed.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the hazard assessment of Potassium amyl xanthate in section 2.1 and 2.2 in IUCLID 6, available data for the substance and according to the criteria described in Directive 67/548/EEC and in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation):
Directive 67/548 |
E;R2 Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition E;R3 Extreme risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other source of ignition O; R7 May cause fire O; R8 Contact with combustible material may cause fire O; R9 Explosive when mixed with combustible material F+; R12 Extremely flammable F; R11 Highly flammable F; R15 Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gas F; R17 Spontaneously flammable in air R10 Flammable |
CLP Regulation |
H242 Org. Perox. CD Heating may cause a fire H242 Org. Perox. EF Heating may cause a fire Gas: H270 Ox. Gas 1: May cause or intensify fire; oxidiser Liquid: H271 Ox. Liq 1 May cause fire or explosion; strong oxidiser Solid: H271 Ox. Sol 1 May cause fire or explosion; strong oxidiser H272: May intensify fire; oxidiser Gas: H220 Flam. Gas 1: extremely flammable gas Gas: H221 Flam. Gas 2: flammable gas Aerosol: H222 Category 1: extremely flammable aerosol Aerosol:H223 category 2: flammable aerosol Liquid: H224 Flam. Liq |
It is concluded that none of the above phrase has not to be assigned to Potassium amyl xanthate and does not meet the criteria to be classified for oxidising properties.
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.
