Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

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
Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
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
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
20 - 22 Jul 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Only preliminary test was performed.
GLP compliance:
yes
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: ignited but no propagation was determined

On contact by the hot wire, the test item melted, a flame was observed after 2 min, but no propagation. The test substance is not "highly flammable" under the conditions of the test.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Endpoint:
self-heating substances / mixtures
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
other:

Description of key information

not highly flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water

not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The flammability of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.10. Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected. Based on the EU A.16 test (in analogy to Grewer Oven test), the substance is not self-heating.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: No propagation of burning in a test according to EU Method A.10 was observed. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. Based on the EU A.16 test (in analogy to Grewer Oven test), the substance is not self-heating.
