Description of key information
The substance has not to be classified as flammable gas, flammable solid, flammable in contact with water, flammable aerosol, pyrophoric solid, pyrophoric liquid or self-heating substance, but it is considered to be classified as highly flammable liquid (GHS Category 2, H 225), since the flash point is < 23 °C and the initial boiling point is > 35 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The test item is a liquid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for gases. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable gas.
The flash point was determined to be -18.5°C (refer to IUCLID Section 4.11). Thus, the substance has to be classified as highly flammable liquid (GHS Category 2, H 225), since the flash point is < 23 °C and the boiling point is > 35 °C.
The test item is a liquid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for solids. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable solid.
Based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected.
Based on chemical structure flammability in contact with water is not to be expected.
The substance does not need to be classified as self-heating as the substance is a liquid.
The substance does not need to be classified as flammable aerosol as the substance is a liquid.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with Annex I Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.9, Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EC) No 2017/776, and UN GHS Rev 7 (2017) the test item has not to be classified as readily combustible solid in class 4 Division 4.1, self-heating substance in Class 4 Division 4.2, substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases in Class 4 Division 4.3, pyrophoric liquid, pyrophoric solid in class 4 Division 4.2, flammable gases in class 2 or as aerosol in class 2. But the substance has tobe classified as highly flammable liquid (GHS Category 2, H 225), since the flash point is < 23 °C and the boiling point is > 35 °C.
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.
