Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
According to EU Method A. 12 with GLP.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
GLP compliance:
yes
Key result
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The Flammability in Contact with Water test was not performed experimentally because practical experience exists (e.g. when preparing test substance solutions for testing for fish toxicity or hydrolysis). The test substance in contact with water does not develop any gas at all. Therefore also no highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities at a minimum rate of 1 liter/kg per hour are evolved.
The test substance is therefore regarded as not being "flammable in contact with water".
Executive summary:

The Flammability in Contact with Water test was not performed experimentally because practical experience exists (e.g. when preparing test substance solutions for testing for fish toxicity or hydrolysis). The test substance in contact with water does not develop any gas at all. Therefore also no highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities at a minimum rate of 1 liter/kg per hour are evolved. The test substance is therefore regarded as not being "flammable in contact with water".

Endpoint:
pyrophoric liquids
Type of information:

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
According to EU method A.13 with GLP.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)
GLP compliance:
yes
Key result
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The test was not performed experimentally because practical experience, e.g. when handling small amounts of the test substance repeatedly in air during testing for various properties. Also experience from the test for auto-ignition of the test substance at elevated temperature is available. The test substance does not ignite in air at ca. 20 °C and even not at temperatures up to 300 °C. The test substance is therefore regarded as not being pyrophoric.
Executive summary:

Endpoint:
flammable solids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The study does not need to be conducted beacuse the substance is a liquid
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
data waiving: supporting information

Description of key information

The flammability in contact with water test and also the test for pyrophoric properties were not performed experimentally. But the test substance is  regarded, due to experience, neither as not being "flammable in contact with water" nor as not being pyrophoric.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The Flammability in Contact with Water test was not performed experimentally because practical experience exists (e.g. when preparing test substance solutions for testing for fish toxicity or hydrolysis). The test substance in contact with water does not develop any gas at all. Therefore also no highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities at a minimum rate of 1 liter/kg per hour are evolved. The test substance is therefore regarded as not being "flammable in contact with water".

The test for pyrophoric properties was not performed experimentally because practical experience, e.g. when handling small amounts of the test substance repeatedly in air during testing for various properties. Also experience from the test for auto-ignition of the test substance at elevated temperature is available. The test substance does not ignite in air at ca. 20 °C and even not at temperatures up to 300 °C. The test substance is therefore regarded as not being pyrophoric.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, the substance is not classified for flammability according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
