Description of key information

non flammable

no pyrophoricity

no flammability on contact with water

not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Based on flash point and boiling point the substance Fatty acids, C12-16 (even numbered) and C18-unsatd., methyl esters (CAS 1234694-02-0) is a non flammable liquid.

Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.

A liquid shows not self-heating behaviour if it is not absorbed on a large surface.

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:

Based on flash point and boiling point the substance Fatty acids, C12-16 (even numbered) and C18-unsatd., methyl esters (CAS 1234694-02-0) is a non flammable liquid.
