Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
The substance is highly flammable liquid. (derived from flash point and boilling point)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
The study does not need to be conducted, because the flammability is derived from flash point and boiling point. Also, based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties and flammability in contact with water are not predicted. Additionally, the substance is a liquid and is therefore not tested for self-heating properties. No tests for self-reactive substances and mixtures are conducted as there are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self reactive properties.
The flash point is <23 °C and the boiling point >35 °C. Therefore, the substance classifies as Category 2 (highly flammable liquids).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available information the test substance is classified as Flam. Liquid 2, H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapour, as in accordance with EU Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
