Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
23 September - 16 November 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Analytical purity: 94.55 %
- Expiration date: 31 December 2017
- Storage condition: at room temperature
Key result
Test procedure:
step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4
Remarks on result:
no reaction with water observed
Remarks:
No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the tests.

No ignition was observed on all the tests. Therefore, the test substance is not considered to be flammable in contact with double-distilled water.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the tests. Therefore, it can be concluded that the test substance does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.
Endpoint:
pyrophoric liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
23 September - 16 November 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Analytical purity: 94.55 %
- Expiration date: 31 December 2017
- Storage condition: at room temperature
Key result
Test procedure:
other: via a syringe
Remarks:
The test is performed 6 times
Remarks on result:
no ignition within 5 minutes
Remarks:
No ignition and no reaction observed
Key result
Test procedure:
effect on filter paper
Remarks:
The test is performed 3 times
Remarks on result:
no ignition within 5 minutes
Remarks:
No ignition, no charring and no reaction observed

No ignition or charring was observed during any test. The sample is therefore not pyrophoric.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No ignition nor reaction was observed during any test. The sample is therefore not a pyrophoric liquid.

Description of key information

Based on a GLP study (K1, Foster, 2016) according to the EU methods A.12 and A.13 the test substance does not emit flammable gases in contact with water and has no pyrophoric properties, respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance does not emit flammable gases in contact with water and has no pyrophoric properties and based on the flash point determination (>110°C, see 4.11 Flash point), the test substance is not considered a flammable liquid. Therefore, the substance is not classified for flammability.
