- 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 substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Study Results
In the preliminary screening test the substance ignited by a hot flame from a gas burner. The flame ceased after removing the gas burner without propagation. Therefore no further testing is required.
The test item p-Anisic acid is not classified as a readily combustible solid according of the UN-class 4.1.
Study Results
The test item p-Anisic acid (dermosoft 688) has not to be classified as self-heating substance according to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of dangerous goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part Ill, sub-section 33.3.1.6 test Method N.4).

Description of key information
Not flammable on ignition.
No pyrophoricity.
Not flammable on contact with water.
Not self-heating.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
No propagation of burning is observed in a test according to UN Test Method N.1. The substance is not expected to liberate flammable gases upon contact with water, and is not expected to exhibit pyrophoric properties, based on chemical structure. Also, substance is not self-heating, based on results of UN Test Method N.4.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:
No propagation of burning is observed in a test according to UN Test Method N.1. Based on experience in production and use, the substance is not expected to liberate flammable gases upon contact with water, and is not expected to exhibit pyrophoric properties, based on chemical structure. Also, substance is not self-heating, based on results of UN Test Method N.4.
