Description of key information

Highly flammable (upon ignition). No pyrophoric properties and no water reactivity.
Based on the flash point of pyrrolidine (at 3°C) and its boiling point (at 87 ºC), it can be deduced that the substance is highly flammable.
The substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture. Experience in handling shows that the test substance does not ignite coming in contact with air.

The substance is not a self-heating substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
highly flammable

Additional information

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the flammability study does not need to be conducted since the flammability can be deduced from flash point and boiling point.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the water reactivity study does not need to be conducted since based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the pyrophoric properties study does not need to be conducted since based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected.

In accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, the self-heating study does not need to be conducted since the substance is a liquid.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Since the flash point of pyrrolidine is at 3°C and its boiling point is at 87 ºC, the substance is classified category 2 for flammability according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures.
