- 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
- 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
- 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
- Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Flammability for liquids is determined based on flash point and boiling point. Based on a flash point > 93°C (105 °C), classification for flammabale liquids is not applicable.
With regard to liberation of flammable gases in conatact with water, according to CLP Annex I, 2.12.4.1. "The classification procedure for this class need not be applied if: (a) the chemical structure of the substance or mixture does not contain metals or metalloids;" This applies to the submission substance. Thus, classification for this class is not applicable to this substance.
With regard to class pyrophoric liquids, according to CLP Annex I, 2.9.4.1. "The classification procedure for pyrophoric liquids need not be applied when experience in manufacture or handling shows that the substance or mixture does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures (i.e. the substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days))." This applies to the submission substance. Consequently, there are no classification requirements for this substance in this respect.
According to (1) the phenomenon of self-heating applies only to solids, liquids are not classified as self-heating. The test method is not applicable to liquids. Thus, no testing is required for this property.
In conclusion, no classification requirements do apply to the submission substance with regard to flammability.
