Description of key information

The substance is highly flammable. Furthermore, the substance possesses no pyrophoric properties and emits no flammable gases in contact with water. The consideration of self-heating behaviour and as an organic peroxide is not applicable. The substance is not self-reactive.

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 as the flammability is deduced from flash point and boiling point. In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the pyrophoric properties study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected. In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the water reactivity study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected. In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test series A to H for organic peroxides does not need to be conducted as by definition based on their chemical structure the substance is no organic peroxide. In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test N 4 for self-heating substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the substance is a liquid. In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test series A to H for self-reactive substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the estimated SADT is greater than 75 °C.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the determined flash point of the substance (8 °C (cc)) and the determined boiling point (110 °C) the substance is classified as highly flammable liquid Cat. 2 (H225 resp. R11). As pyrophoric properties, water reactivity and organic peroxides could be excluded based on the structure and self-heating behaviour by its state of matter there is no reason the classify the substance further for flammability. Furthermore self-reactive behaviour could be excluded as the estimated SADT is greater than 75 °C.
