Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
other: expert statement
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
July 1, 2011 - October 21, 2011
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Based on the molecular structure of the substance and based on experience during handling of the substance under normal laboratory conditions, an expert statement rather than a full study is considered sufficient to cover this endpoint (according UN Guideline).

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

- The chemical structure of the substance does not contain groups (metals or metalloids) that might lead to ignition in contact with water and/or to the evaluation of a flammable gas

- Experience in handling during the determination of physico-chemical properties shows that the substance does not react with water

- The substance is soluble in water to form a stable mixture

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not highly flammable in contact with water
Conclusions:
Based on the evaluation of structural features of the substance and based on experience during handling of the substance (e.g. in the water solubility test), the substance is considered "not highly flammable‟ in contact with water.
