The flammability in contact with water of the test item were tested according to EC-Guideline 92/69/EWG A.12. The test item did not ignite spontaneously with water. The maximum quantity of liberated gas was determined to be 0.2 L/kg h. Therefore, the test item did not liberate gases in hazardous amounts when tested according to this procedure.
Referenceopen allclose all
The substance was tested according to the step-by-step sequence described below.
Stage 1
The test substance was added to a dish containing distilled water.
Result: No formation of reaction gases was observed. Attempts to ignite the gas phase above the dish with the flame of a burner produced negative results.
Stage 2
The test substance was introduced to a filter paper floating on the surface of the distilled water contained in a dish.
Result: No formation of reaction gases was observed. Attempts to ignite the gas phase above the filter paper produced negative results.
Stage 3
A few drops of water were added to a sample of the test substance.
Result: No formation of reaction gases was observed. Ignition attempts of the gas phase produced negative results.
Stage 4
Water (ca. 20 mL) was added from a dropping funnel to the quantities of test substance specified below. Two test runs were performed.
Result: The following total quantities of liberated gas were determined by using a miniature gasometer.
| Test run 1 | Test run 2 |
Test sample weights | 10.0 g | 10.0 g |
Time | Total gas evolution rate | |
60 min | 0 L/kg h | 0.2 L/kg h |
120 min | 0 L/kg h | 0 L/kg h |
180 min | 0 L/kg h | 0 L/kg h |
240 min | 0 L/kg h | 0 L/kg h |
300 min | 0 L/kg h | 0 L/kg h |
360 min | 0 L/kg h | 0 L/kg h |
420 min | 0 L/kg h | 0 L/kg h |
The test item did not ignite spontaneously with water. The test item did not liberate gases in hazardous amounts when tested according to this procedure.
Description of key information
The substance is classified as flammable liquid (GHS 02: flame, H226: Flammable liquid and vapour).
The substance has not to be classified as flammable gas, flammable solid, flammable in contact with water, flammable aerosol, pyrophoric solid, pyrophoric liquid or self-heating substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Flammable gases
The test item is a liquid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for gases. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable gas.
Flammable liquid
The flash point of the test item was determined in an experimental study according to EC-Guideline 92/69/EWG A.9 and DIN EN ISO 13736 using the closed cup method with an Abel apparatus. The flash point was determined to be 24 °C at 1012 hPa. Therefore, the test item has to be classified as flammable liquid Category 3, H226: Flammable liquid and vapour.
Flammable solids
The test item is a liquid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for solids. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable solid.
Pyrophoric liquids
In accordance with section 2.9.4 Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and ECHA guidance on the application of CLP Criteria section 2.9.4.2 the classification procedure for pyrophoric liquids needs not to be applied when experience in manufacture or handling shows that the liquid does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures (i.e. the liquid is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days)). Based on the experience in handling and use the substance is not known to ignite spontaneously when coming into contact with air at normal temperatures. Thus, no study was conducted, and the substance was not considered for classification as pyrophoric liquid.
Pyrophoric solids
The test item is a liquid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for solids. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as pyrophoric solid.
Self-heating substances and mixtures
In accordance with ECHA guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria section 2.11.4.2 and ECHA guidance on IR/CSA chapter R.7a section R7.1.10.7 the test does not to be conducted as in general liquids are not classified as self-heating since the phenomena applies only to solids and the test method is not applicable to liquids according to ECHA guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria section 2.11.4.2.
Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases
The flammability in contact with water of the test item were tested according to EC-Guideline 92/69/EWG A.12. The test item did not ignite spontaneously with water. The maximum quantity of liberated gas was determined to be 0.2 L/kg h. Therefore, the test item did not liberate gases in hazardous amounts when tested according to this procedure.
Flammable Aerosols
Section 2.4.2 of Guidance on the application on the CLP Criteria state as follows: “Aerosols, this means aerosol dispensers, are any non-refillable receptacles made of metal, glass or plastics and containing a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder, and fitted with a release device allowing the contents to be ejected as solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam, paste or powder or in a liquid state or in a gaseous state." Thus, as the substance does not meet the definition for aerosol, the test for aerosols was waived. Consequently the substance has not to be considered for classification for this hazard class.
In conclusion, the substance is classified as flammable liquid Cat. 3 (GHS 02: flame, H226: Flammable liquid and vapour). The substance has not to be classified as flammable gas, flammable solid, flammable in contact with water, flammable aerosol, pyrophoric solid, pyrophoric liquid or self-heating substance.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
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 eighteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2022/692, and UN GHS Rev 9 (2021) the test item has to be classified as flammable liquid (GHS 02: flame, H226: Flammable liquid and vapour) in Class 3, but not classified as 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 flammable aerosol in Class 2.
