Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Conclusions:

Flammability testing waived -
Flammability studies on liquids are not required and are covered by Flash Point (Section 4.11).

Furthermore, from the structural formulae of the constituents Javanol is not expected to react significantly with water at 20°C, and will no way emit flammable gases. This is in line with the fact that during studies such as the determination of the water solubility of Javanol (Water solubility of Javanol according to OECD Guideline No. 102, Givaudan Suisse SA, Study No. 97-E73) no reaction of Javanol with water was observed.

Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the contact of the substance with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.

Flammability testing Waived - please refer to endpoint 4.15 on Oxidising Properties, where an Expert Statement has been performed and indicates that from the structural formula of JAVANOL it can be concluded that the substance has no oxidising properties and that it does not have the functional groups associated with Oxidising activity.  Therefore, it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that JAVANOL is incapable of causing fire or enhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

Description of key information

As the substance is a liquid, the relevant test for flammable properties is the Flash Point measurement.

A fully reliable experimental study is presented in IUCLID section 4.11 : flash point of Javanol is 136 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP) criteria, the measured flash point is above the threshold value of 60°C, therefore the substance is NOT considered as a flammable liquid.

According to UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS) criteria, the measured flash point is above the threshold value of 93°C, therefore the substance is NOT considered as a flammable liquid.
