Reference
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
between the 5th Januray 2009 and the 7th January 2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study conducted to GLP and in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do no effect the quality of the relevant results.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Date of inspection: 21/08/07 Date of Signature: 15/10/07
Remarks on result:
other: The test material has been determined to be non-hazardous as it did not produce gas at a rate greater than 1 litre/kg/hour.

Results:

 

Observations

Step 1

No reaction or evolution of gas

Step 2

No reaction or evolution of gas

Step 3

No reaction or evolution of gas

Step 4

 

Test 1

Initial, reading no gas evolved. 1.8ml of gas evolved after 1 hour. 2.0ml of gas evolved after 4 hours. No further gas evolved over the remaining 3 hours.

Test 2

Initial reading no gas evolved. 2.9ml of gas evolved after 1 hour. 3.0 ml of gas evolved after 3 hours. No further gas evolved over the remaining 4 hours.

Test 3

Initial reading no gas evolved. 0.6 ml of gas evolved after 1 hour. No further gas was evolved over the remaining 6 hours.
Interpretation of results:
other: non-hazardous
Conclusions:

The test material has been determined to be non-hazardous as it did not produce gas at a rate greater than 1 litre/kg/hour.
Executive summary:

The flammabilty was tested using Method A 12 of council regulation No 440/2008 of 30th May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties. The test material has been determined to be non-hazardous as it did not produce gas at a rate greater than 1 litre/kg/hour.

Description of key information

The substance is non-flammable and non-hazardous based on the flash point and the results of a flammability (contact with water) study.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The test substance is a liquid at 20 °C and 101.3 kPa. According to ECHA guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, the primary value for ease of ignition in liquids is the flash point.

In addition the test material (tested as received) was subjected to water/dampness in a four step procedure and observations made for any evolution of gas. Testing was conducted using methods A 12 Flammability (contact with water). The test material has been determined to be non-hazardous as it did not produce gas at a rate greater than 1 litre/kg/hour.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flash point of 2 -(2 -Vinyloxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate was determined to be 118.6 °C at 101.3kPa. Therefore, the test item does not need classifying as a flammable liquid according to the criteria described in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
