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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- 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 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:
- 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:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1994
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ESCIS-Heft 1 (1985)
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Remarks on result:
- other: brief ignition and a rapid extinction
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the test result the test item can be considered as not flammable.
- Executive summary:
Testing for flammability showed that only a brief ignition and a rapid extinction. No spreading of fire. Combustion Index 2. Based on the test result the test item can be considered as not flammable.

Description of key information
non flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability in contact with water
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Testing for flammability showed that only a brief ignition and a rapid extinction. No spreading of fire. Combustion Index 2. Based on the test result the test item can be considered as not flammable.
Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected.
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).
