Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
pyrophoric liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
02-05-2012
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 (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch number of test material: PFW100207
- Purity: contains 0.03% water
- Physical state: Liquid

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: in cool, well-ventilated area
Key result
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state.
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.
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
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study

Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch number of test material: PFW100207
- Purity: contains 0.03% water
- Physical state: Liquid

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: in cool, well-ventilated area
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 any of the tests. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No gas generation or spontaneous ingitions were observed during any of the tests. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

Description of key information

The test substance is concluded not to be pyrophoric, nor flammable in contact with water following GLP-compliant studies in accordance with EC test methods A.12 and A.13 (Younis S, 2012). In addition, the test substance does not need to be classified as flammable liquid as the flash-point was determined to be 132°C and is therefore outside the range relevant for classification according to the CLP regulation.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance does not need to be classified as flammable liquid as the flash-point was determined to be 132°C and is therefore outside the range relevant for classification and labelling under the CLP Regulation. Furthermore, the test substance is tested not to have pyrophoric properties nor to be flammable in contact with water.
