Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilShow full title

Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (Text with EEA relevance)

[X1 [F1 9. SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties U.K.

This section of the safety data sheet shall describe the empirical data relating to the substance or mixture, if relevant. Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 shall apply. The information in this section shall be consistent with the information provided in the registration and/or in the chemical safety report where required, and with the classification of the substance or mixture.

9.1. Information on basic physical and chemical properties U.K.

The following properties shall be clearly identified including, where appropriate, a reference to the test methods used and specification of appropriate units of measurement and/or reference conditions. If relevant for the interpretation of the numerical value, the method of determination shall also be provided (for example, the method for flash point, the open-cup/closed-cup method):

(a)

Appearance:

The physical state (solid (including appropriate and available safety information on granulometry and specific surface area if not already specified elsewhere in this safety data sheet), liquid, gas) and the colour of the substance or mixture as supplied shall be indicated;

(b)

Odour:

If odour is perceptible, a brief description of it shall be given;

(c)

Odour threshold;

(d)

pH:

The pH of the substance or mixture as supplied or of an aqueous solution shall be indicated; in the case of an aqueous solution, the concentration shall also be indicated;

(e)

Melting point/freezing point;

(f)

Initial boiling point and boiling range;

(g)

Flash point;

(h)

Evaporation rate;

(i)

Flammability (solid, gas);

(j)

Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits;

(k)

Vapour pressure;

(l)

Vapour density;

(m)

Relative density;

(n)

Solubility(ies);

(o)

Partition coefficient: n-octanol/water;

(p)

Auto-ignition temperature;

(q)

Decomposition temperature;

(r)

Viscosity;

(s)

Explosive properties;

(t)

Oxidising properties.

If it is stated that a particular property does not apply or if information on a particular property is not available, the reasons shall be given.

To enable proper control measures to be taken, all relevant information on the substance or mixture shall be provided. The information in this section shall be consistent with the information provided in a registration where one is required.

In the case of a mixture, the entries shall clearly indicate to which substance in the mixture the data apply, unless it is valid for the whole mixture.

9.2. Other information U.K.

Other physical and chemical parameters shall be indicated as necessary, such as miscibility, fat solubility (solvent — oil to be specified), conductivity, or gas group. Appropriate and available safety information on redox potential, radical formation potential and photocatalytic properties shall be indicated. ] ]
