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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 23 March 2012 - 29 August 2012
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Remarks on result:
- other: The substance does ignite but does not propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified based on GHS or CLP criteria
- Conclusions:
- BMI was found not to be a flammable solid.
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
Experience in handling (e.g. during the performance of studies) demonstrated that the substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures.
Referenceopen allclose all
The test substance melted and burned with a yellow flame, which extinguished 4 seconds after the removal of the ignition source.
Description of key information
Not a flammable solid (EC A.10: preliminary screening test)
No pyrophoric properties (based on experience in handling)
Not highly flammable in contact with water (based on experience in handling and structural features)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification or non-classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008:
Not a flammable solid, not a pyrophoric solid and no classification for the hazard "Substances which in contact with water emits flammable gases'
Since the melting temperature of the substance is below 160°C, the substance need not be considered for CLP classification in the 'Self-heating substances' class.
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.
