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 substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Version / remarks:
Council Regulation 440/2008, 30 May 2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identification: Hexyl Caproate
Appearance: Clear colourless liquid
Identity of evolved gas:
not applicable as no gas evolved
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Interpretation of results:
other: ← Complete pick list based on CLP criteria, see below
Conclusions:
The test substance was not found to react with water and produce a flammable gas.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (EU A.12) study, conducted with GLP certification.

The test substance was not found to react with water and produce a flammable gas.

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
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)
Version / remarks:
Council Regulation 440/2008, 30 May 2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identification: Hexyl Caproate
Appearance: Clear colourless liquid
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Interpretation of results:
other: ← Complete pick list based on CLP criteria, see below
Conclusions:
.
The test substance was found not to have an ignition time in contact with air.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (EU A.13) study, conducted with GLP certification,

The test substance was found not to have an ignition time in contact with air.

Endpoint:
flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information

The substance is a liquid which does is known to be stable in contact with air and in contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

A test item is considered pyrophoric when it ignites within five minutes of coming in contact

with air.

The molecular structure and/or the composition of the test item are shown in Paragraph 4.1

and Appendix 2. The test item does not contain groups that might lead to ignition in contact

with air. The molecular structures of impurities at ≤ 1% were not taken into account.

In conclusion, Hexyl Caproate has no pyrophoric properties.
