Description of key information
Carbon tetrachloride is not flammable on contact with water and is not pyrophoric. The key parameter for its flammability is the flash point.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Carbon tetrachloride is a liquid at room temperature thus its primary value for ease of ignition is the flash point (see section 4.11). In addition, based on experience in handling, carbon tetrachloride is not pyrophoric and is not flammable on contact with water.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on experience in handling, the substance is not pyrophoric and is not flammable on contact with water thus it is not classified for these properties. In addition carbon tetrachloride has no flash point (see section 4.11). Thus carbon tetrachloride is not flammable.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
