Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No oxidising properties; expert statement (Reimer, 2005).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
The test material is not expected to possess oxidising properties. A test was conducted in accordance with the EPA OPPTS 830.6314 guideline on the regioisomer 3-chloro-o-xylene which gave negative results. When this surrogate compound was mixed with oxidising and reducing agents (calcium hypochlorite and zinc, respectively), a fire-fighting agent (ammonium phosphate) and a common solvent (water) no significant increase in temperature or visible reaction were observed.
The registered substance and surrogate compound differ only in their regiochemistry (i.e. the position of the chlorine atom on the ring). These compounds possess similar chemical functional groups (aromatic carbon and aromatic carbon attached to chlorine) and therefore are expected to possess similar chemical reactivities with respect to this chemical compatibility test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to 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.
