Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
pyrophoric liquids
Remarks:
Pyrophoric liquids/solids (migrated from section 'Flammability')
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
26.06.2012 - 25.07.2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
Justification for type of information:
Data is from experimental test report
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: as mentioned below
Principles of method if other than guideline:
It is how easily substance can burn or ignite, causing fire or combustion by brief contact with an ignition source (such as a burning match)
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Key result
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record. | Remarks: | Additional remarks: Substance is categorized as flammable at 950 deg.C but such high temperature does not exist normally it is classified as non flammable
Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Conclusions:
From the experimental value of flammability, test chemical ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature as high as 950°C was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that test chemical is flammable only at high temperature of about 950°C. However, since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, hence, test chemical was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
Executive summary:

From the experimental value of flammability, test chemical ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature as high as 950°C was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that test chemical is flammable only at high temperature of about 950°C. However, since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, hence, test chemical was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
