contact with water

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

Start date of the experimental work: 1 February 2018 and completion date of the experimental work: 8 May 2018

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))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Final step results

Run	1	2	3
Mass of sample (g)	10.06	10.10	10.07
Was a spontaneous ignition observed?	No	No	No
Maximum rate of gas generation (l.kg-1.h-1)	0	0	0
Is the generated gas flammable?	N/A	N/A	N/A

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

For the initial tests, no gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed. For the final test the generation of a flammable gas was less than 1 Litre/Kg of the substance per hour. Under the EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A12, the substance is therefore determined to be Non-Hazardous.

Test Results

Test number	Ignition or no ignition	Observations
1	No ignition	No reaction
2	No ignition	No reaction
3	No ignition	No reaction
4	No ignition	No reaction
5	No ignition	No reaction
6	No ignition	No reaction

No ignition were observed during the six tests. The sample is therefore not pyrophoric

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item not pyrophoric.

Executive summary:

A small quantity of the sample (1-2 ml) was dropped from a height of approximately 1 metre onto a non-combustible surface. It was observed if the sample ignited on dropping or within 5 minutes of settling. The test was performed six times. No ignition were observed during the six tests. The sample is therefore not pyrophoric

Description of key information

- The test item is not highly flammable ( Annex Part A test A10.)

- For the initial tests, no gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed. For the final test the generation of a flammable gas was less than 1 Litre/Kg of the substance per hour. Under the EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A12, the substance is therefore determined to be Non-Hazardous.

- The test item not pyrophoric. (EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids))
