Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Flammability range:
2.5 to 13.5% (74% ethanol solution)
3.3 to 19%
3.3-3.5% to 15-19%
LEL=3.7%
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- highly flammable
Additional information
A limited but sufficient number of published values are available for the upper and lower flammability of pure ethanol. These values cover a reasonably narrow range of values and at least two are clearly different which suggest that they originate from different sources. At least one is judged to be from a reliable source. A highly reliable measured value is available for a preparation containing 75% ethanol. The value used for the key value is from the reliable published study.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The flashpoint is in the range where classification for flammability is required. Under the EU CLP regulation, a classification in category 2 for flammable liquids is required.
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.
