Endpoint:

flammable solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Justification for type of information:

The substance can not spontaneously catch fire on the basis of the chemical structure.
The substance is an inorganic oxide, in which the inorganic element is in its highest possible oxidation state therefore it is incapable of further reaction with oxygen.

Interpretation of results:

non flammable

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The substance is incapable of combustion on the basis of the chemical structure.
The substance in an inorganic oxide in which the inorganic element is in its highest possible oxidation state therefore it is incapable of further reaction with oxygen and can thus be designed as non flammable.

Description of key information

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the flammability (contact with water and pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids) studies (required in section 7.10) do not need to be conducted as experience in use and handling has shown that the substance does not possess these properties.
In accordance with section 2 of REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) Annex XI, the flammability study (for gases required in Annex VII section 7.10) does not need to be conducted as the substance is a solid.
According to Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Endpoint Specific Guidance: Chpt R.7.1.10 for the following reasons:
The substance is an inorganic oxide in which the  inorganic element is in its highest possible oxidation state therefore it is incapable of further reaction with oxygen and can thus be designated as non flammable.
