Description of key information

Test A.10 is not applicable to a liquid.  Based on the known chemical and physical properties of the substance and experience in use, negative results are predicted for the following flammability tests of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, so it is considered justified to omit them: A.12 (Flammability in contact with water) & A.13 (Pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
flammable

Additional information

Ethylmethylcarbonate is a liquid and its flammability has been determined from its flash point.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the flash point of 22 degrees C and a boiling point of 102 degrees C for ethylmethylcarbonate, the classification of ethylmethylcarbonate is determined as:

- under Directive 67/548/EEC criteria, R10

- under Regulation 1272/2008 (EU CLP GHS) criteria, Flammable liquid category 2.
