Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

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 organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Justification for type of information:

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the study on flammability in contact with water does not need to be conducted as the substance contains no metals or metalloids and therefore will not release flammable gases in contact with water.

Reference 2

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Justification for type of information:

The flammability of a substance is determined following the methods N.1 (UN-manual of testing) or A.10 (EU-method). However, in accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, a study is technically not feasible as the substance is a liquid. The flammability of a liquid is described by the flash point.

Reference 3

Endpoint:

pyrophoric liquids

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

Justification for type of information:

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, a study on pyrophoric properties does not need to be conducted as it is scientifically unjustified. According to the additional classification considerations in CLP Annex I, 2.9.4 and 2.10.4, the classification procedure for pyrophoric solids or liquids need not to be applied as experience in manufacture and handling shows that the substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures, i.e. the substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time

Reference 4

Endpoint:

self-heating substances / mixtures

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information

a) for liquids
The flammability of a substance is determined following the methods N.1 (UN-manual of testing) or A.10 (EU-method). However, in accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, a study is technically not feasible as the substance is a liquid. The flammability of a liquid is described by the flash point.
b) in contact with water
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the study on flammability in contact with water does not need to be conducted as the substance contains no metals or metalloids and therefore will not release flammable gases in contact with water.
c) pyrophoric properties
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, a study on pyrophoric properties does not need to be conducted as it is scientifically unjustified. According to the additional classification considerations in CLP Annex I, 2.9.4 and 2.10.4, the classification procedure for pyrophoric solids or liquids need not to be applied as experience in manufacture and handling shows that the substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures, i.e. the substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time.

d) self-heating substances

Since the test item is a liquid a testing for Self-heating substances is not necessary.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

non flammable

Justification for classification or non-classification

Considering the a flash point of 144°C a classification for flammability is not applicable.
