Description of key information
Lithium chloride is non-flammable according to a study following UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria, N1: Test Method for readily combustible solids, sub-section 33.2.1.4.
Flammability upon contact with water: The chemical structure of lithium chloride indicates that there are no groups associated with flammability properties (Ref.: R.7a: Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, EU-Document (2012)). Further, experience in handling and use does not indicate flammability upon contact with water.
The chemical structure of lithium chloride indicates that there are no groups associated with pyrophoric properties. The test substance does not contain any chemical group that might lead to spontaneous ignition shortly after coming into contact with air at room temperature (Ref.: R.7a: Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, EU-Document (2012)). Based on experience in handling and use there is also no indicator for pyrophoric properties or self-heating properties.
Section 2.4.2 of Guidance on the application on the CLP Criteria states as follows: “Aerosols, this means aerosol dispensers, are any non-refillable receptacles made of metal, glass or plastics and containing a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder, and fitted with a release device allowing the contents to be ejected as solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam, paste or powder or in a liquid state or in a gaseous state.” Thus, as the substance does not meet the definition for aerosol, the test for aerosols was waived.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the chemical structure of lithium chloride, one study (flammability of solids) and experience in handling and use no pyrophoric properties, flammability upon contact with water and flammability in general could be detected. Taking into account Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), lithium chloride was not classified as flammable.
