Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric liquids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- 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 completely molten at 160°C
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture
- Justification for type of information:
- In accordance with the ECHA guidance R7a (Jul. 2015) and the Guidance on the Application of the CLP criteria (June 2015), trifluoroethanol is not considered as substance which, in contact with water, emits flammable gazes because the chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metalloids and trifluoroethanol is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture.

Description of key information
Based on the retained flashpoint value of 29.5°C, Trifluoroethanol is classified as flammable liquid, category 3 (H226)
Not pyrophoric. No release of flammable gases if contact with water (waived). No self-heating anticipated (waived).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
As the substance is a liquid, the relevant test for classification regarding flammable poperties is the flashpoint measurement. A fully reliable experimental study is presented under section 4.11.
Based on the chemical structure and experience, no flammable properties are anticipated in contact with air or water, or no self-heating for liquids, therefore studies were deemed unnecessary.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the flash point value of 29.5°C, TFE is classified as flammable (liquid) category 3 according to Regulation N°1272/2008 (CLP).
