Key result

Remarks on result:

no reaction with water observed

Test results - Initial tests:

No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the tests.

Test results - Final test:

No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during the test. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the tests. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

Reference 2

Endpoint:

pyrophoric liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2011-11-02

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:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): BAEE
- Substance type: Colourless liquid
- Physical state: Liquid
- Analytical purity: 95.9%
- Composition of test material, percentage of components: 2.2% ET-bis(aminoethyl)ether, 0.5% monoethanolamine, 0.12% methoxyethylmorpholine, 0.37% water
- Lot/batch No.: LL080179
- Storage condition of test material: Sample stored in cool, well-ventilated storage area prior to testing

Key result

Test procedure:

ignition time on contact with air

Remarks on result:

no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)

As the first test was negative, the second test was also performed.

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

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

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

Reference 3

Endpoint:

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

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

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

Description of key information

The test substance is concluded to be not pyrophoric, nor flammable in contact with water following GLP studies in accordance with EC test methods A.12 and A.13 (Younis S, 2012). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flash-point of BAEE was determined to be 82 °C at 102.2 kPa and is therefore outside the range relevant for classification and labelling under the DSD (<55 °C) and CLP (<60 or <75 °C).

Furthermore, BAEE is tested not to have pyrophoric properties nor to be flammable in contact with water.
