Remarks:
no gas generation or spontaneous ignition occurred

Test results - Initial tests:

No gas generation or spontaneous ignition were observed during any of the tests.

Test results - Final test:

No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during the replicate tests. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the tests. The sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.

1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Well performed GLP study in accordance with EU Method A13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids).
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: PFW100113
- Analytical purity: 99.3% (by GC)

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: the sample is stored in cool, well-ventilated storage area prior to testing.

OTHER SPECIFICS:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Jeffcat DMDEE
- Physical state: Liquid
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Test procedure:
effect on filter paper
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)

As the first test was negative, the second test was also performed.

No ignition or charring was observed during any test. The substance is therefore not a pyrophoric liquid.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No ignition or charring was observed during any test. The substance is therefore not a pyrophoric liquid.

Description of key information

The test substance is concluded not to be pyrophoric, nor flammable in contact with water following GLP studies in accordance with EU test methods A.12 and A.13 (Younis, 2011).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flash-point of the test substance was determined to be 156.5 °C at 102.7 kPa and is therefore outside the range relevant for classification and labelling under the DSD (<55 °C) and CLP (<60 or <75 °C).

Furthermore, the test substance is concluded not to have pyrophoric properties nor to be flammable in contact with water.
