Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

non explosive

Additional information

According to Annex VII of the REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006), a study on explosive properties does not need to be conducted if the organic substance or a homogenous mixture of organic substances contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties, but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500 °C.

In a DSC assay up to 500 °C, the substance decomposed exothermically between 350 and 380 °C, with an energy release of ca. 150 J/g.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Upon a screening evalutation as described in the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), Acid Yellow 218 resulted as devoid of an explosive potential and does not require a classification according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).
