Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available

In the preliminary screening test the susbtance doesn´t ignite by a hot flame from a gas burner.
Description of key information
non flammable (EU Method A.10)
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water
not self-heating
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
No propagation of burning was observed in a test according to EU Method A.10. Based on assessment of the chemical structure of substance Octadecan-1-ol, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS 9005-00-9) in combination with experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is not self-heating, because it is a solid completely molten at 160 °C.
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 in a test according to EU method A.10. Based on assessment of the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. Self-heating is not expected, because the substance is completely molten below 160 °C.
