Reference
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

In contact with water the test item did not ignite spontaneously with water and did not liberate gases in hazardous amounts.

Interpretation of results:
other: - does not ignite spontaneously with water - does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts
Conclusions:
The test substance did not ignite spontaneously with water and did not liberate gases in hazardous amounts when tested according to EC Test Procedure A 12.

Description of key information

Flammability: The flammability of a substance is determined following the method N.1 (UN-manual of testing) or A.10 (EU-method). But in accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, a study is technically not possible as the substance is a liquid. The flammability of a liquid is described by the flash point.

Contact with water: The substance does not liberate highly flammable gases in contact with water or humid air as determined by the EU-method A.12.

Pyrophoric properties: Pyrophoric properties are determined following the methods N.3 (UN-Manual of testing) or A.13 (EU-method). But in accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, a study does not need to be conducted as it is scientifically not necessary. During handling and use, no pyrophoric properties were observed and the structure does not give a reference to pyrophoric properties.

Self-heating properties: The study does not be conducted because the substance is a solid
