Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials
- Interpretation of results:
- other: no oxidising properties
- Remarks:
- Migrated information

Description of key information
An oxidising 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. Silver bromide (AgBr), is an inorganic substance, consisting of Ag+ and Br- ions in a crystalline matrix. Neither of these ions, nor the compound AgBr as such is able to contribute to combustion by yielding oxygen or by other means. The assessment that AgBr has no oxidising properties in the sense of hazard classification is supported by industrial experience in production, storage and use of this compound. In consequence, experimental testing for oxidising properties is scientifically not justified for AgBr (waiving statement in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex XI, Section 1).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising

In consequence, experimental testing for oxidising properties is scientifically not justified for AgBr (waiving statement in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex XI, Section 1). The registrant is further not aware of any case reports or accidents, involving AgBr as a material supporting combustion. Classification for oxidising properties is not assumed to be 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.
