Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric liquids
- 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 known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- 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
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (v5.0, July 2017, §2.9.), the chemical structure (hydrocarbon) does not fall into critical categories (eg organo-metals/metalloids, organo-phosphines, hydrides, their derivatives and haloacetylene derivatives), and the experience in handling, testing and use of the substance shows that the liquid does not ignite spontaneously.
Therefore, the study was considered as unnecessary. - Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING:
In accordance with section 2 of REACh Annex XI, flammability studies relevant for classification criteria under 4.13 do not apply to liquids. Please refer to flash point under 4.11. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- data waiving: supporting information
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- data waiving: supporting information
- 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
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (v5.0, July 2017, §2.12.), the chemical structure (hydrocarbon) does not fall into critical categories (eg no metals or metalloids), and the experience in handling, testing and use of the substance shows no hazardous reaction.
Therefore, the study was considered as unnecessary. - Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- 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 a liquid
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING:
According to ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria (v5.0, July 2017, §2.11.4.2.), "the phenomenon of self-heating generally applies only to solids. The surface of liquids is not large enough for reaction with air, and the test method (UN N4) is not applicable to liquids. Therefore liquids, unless adsorbed, are not classified as self-heating."
Moreover, the chemical structure (hydrocarbon) does not contain metals or metalloids, which are typically self-heating substances - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- data waiving: supporting information

Description of key information
Flash Point= 54.4°C (exp): The substance is classified as a FLAMMABLE LIQUID Category 3 according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP criteria) and UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS criteria).
Not flammable if contact with air or water (waived).
No self-heating anticipated (waived).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
As the substance is a liquid, the relevant test for flammable properties is the flash point measurement. See point 4.11.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The measured flash point (54.4°C) is between the thresholds of 23 and 60°C, therefore the substance is classified as a FLAMMABLE LIQUID Category 3 according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP) and UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS) criteria.
Based on the chemical structure of the substance and experience in handling and use of the substance, no flammable properties are anticipated if contact with air or water, therefore studies were deemed unnecessary in accordance with section 1 of REACh Annex XI.
Finally considering that the substance is a liquid, no classification as self-heating substance is anticipated.
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).
