- Remarks:
- no spontaneous ignition could be observed. The emitted gas was not flammable.
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- step 4
- Max. rate of gas release:
- 1 L/kg h
- Remarks on result:
- reaction with water (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- after the addition of water the test item reacts abruptly with a gas emission, but no spontaneous ignition could be observed. because of the strong reaction with water the test item does not emit gas after 10 seconds anymore. The emitted gas was not flammable.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item gallium trichloride does not emit flammable gasses in contact with water in any of the 4 steps of the test procedure.
