Endpoint:
flammable solids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Version / remarks:
March 04, 2016.
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch No.: 707001
Purity: 98.5%
Test procedure:
step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4
Identity of evolved gas:
not applicable as no gas evolved
Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No evolution of a gas of the test item in contact with water was observed in Test 1, Test 2, Test 3 and Test 4.
In conclusion, the test item is "not highly flammable" in contact with water.
Executive summary:

The full test was performed to monitor the reactivity of test item in contact with water according to EC A12.

No evolution of a gas of the test item in contact with water was observed in Test 1, Test 2, Test 3 and Test 4.

In conclusion, the test item is "not highly flammable" in contact with water.

Endpoint:
flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
Endpoint:
pyrophoric liquids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

Flammable solids:

The study does not to be conducted because the substance is a liquid.

Flammable liquids:

The flash point of the test item was measured to be 11.8 ºC at standard pressure of 1013 hPa in a study run to ASTM D3278 (closed cup).

Pyrophoric liquids:

The study does not to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days)

Substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases:

The test item is "not highly flammable" in contact with water in a study run to EC A12.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Flammable liquids:

Flash point (closed cup), ASTM D3278: 11.8°C

Boiling point, OECD 103 (photocell detection): 130.9°C.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.6.1, this substance should be classified as category 2 for flammable liquid.

 

Pyrophoric liquids:

The substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days).

Therefore, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, section 2.9.4.1., this substance should not be classified as pyrophoric liquids.

 

Substances and mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases: EC A12, evolution of gases was not observed.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.12.2.2, a substance or mixture shall be classified as a substance or mixture which in contact with water emits flammable gases if spontaneous ignition takes place in any step of the test procedure. Therefore, the substance is not classified as a substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases.
