Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

flammable gases

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

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

Reference 2

Endpoint:

flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Reference 3

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

Reference 4

Endpoint:

pyrophoric 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

Reference 5

Endpoint:

self-heating substances / mixtures

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

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

Reference 6

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

Reference 7

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

Description of key information

The substance has not to be classified as flammable gas, flammable liquid, flammable solid, flammable in contact with water, flammable aerosol, pyrophoric solid, pyrophoric liquid or self-heating substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

The test item is a viscous liquid at ambient conditions. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable gas. This hazard class is only applicable for gases.

The flash point was determined to be greater than 200 °C (refer to IUCLID Section 4.11). Thus, the substance has not to be classified as flammable liquid.

The test item is a viscous liquid at ambient conditions. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable solid. This hazard class is only applicable for solids.

Based on the chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected.

Based on the chemical structure flammability in contact with water is not to be expected.

The substance does not need to be classified as self-heating as the substance is a viscous liquid.

The substance does not need to be classified as flammable aerosol as the substance is a viscous liquid.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with Annex I Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.9, Section 2.10 Section 2.11, Section 2.12 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EC) No 2019/521, and UN GHS Rev 6 (2015) the test item has not to be classified as flammable liquid, readily combustible solid in class 4 Division 4.1, self-heating substance in Class 4 Division 4.2, substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases in Class 4 Division 4.3, pyrophoric liquid, pyrophoric solid in class 4 Division 4.2, flammable gases in class 2 or as aerosol in class 2.
