Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: VDI 2263-1 Anhang 2, Brennzahl
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: BZ 1 - 2
Remarks:
BZ 1: no burning BZ 2: short burning and rapid extinction
Interpretation of results:
other: EU GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Brennzahl 1: no ignition and burning
Brennzahl 2: short ignition, but no propagation, as rapid extinction

The sample is not flammable.
Executive summary:

The sample was tested for its flammable properties in a non-GLP stsudy similar to VDI 2263-1 Anhang 2, Brennzahl. The test is a kind of pre-test, similar to UN Test N.1. If the outcome of the test shows "Brennzahlen" BZ 1 - 3 this shows a negative outcome of the pre-test in the sense of UN Test N.1.

For the test item a "Brennzahl" between 1 and 2 was observed:

BZ 1: no burning

BZ 2: short burning and rapid extinction

Therefore the sample is considered as non-flammable solid.

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
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:
self-heating substances / mixtures
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: VDI 2263 Sheet 1 Grewer Oven (1990)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Test procedure:
other: Grewer Oven
Result:
negative outcome (no effect observed)
Remarks on result:
other: no self-ignition observed under the test conditions
Interpretation of results:
other: EU GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The pure test item shows no self-ignition up to the test end temperature of 400 °C.
Executive summary:

The test item was assessed for its self-heating properties in a non-GLP study. The test was done in the Grewer Oven according to VDI 2263 Sheet 1. The pure test item shows no self-ignition up to the test end temperature of 400 °C and is considered therefore to have no self-heating properties.

Description of key information

Flammability:

The sample was tested for its flammable properties in a non-GLP stsudy similar to VDI 2263-1 Anhang 2, Brennzahl. The test is a kind of pre-test, similar to UN Test N.1. If the outcome of the test shows "Brennzahlen" BZ 1 - 3 this shows a negative outcome of the pre-test in the sense of UN Test N.1.

For the test item a "Brennzahl" between 1 and 2 was observed:

BZ 1: no burning

BZ 2: short burning and rapid extinction

Therefore the sample is considered as non-flammable solid.

Flammability, contact with water:

The study is scientifically not necessary, because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids. Also the test material does not contain structural components associated with flammability on contact with water mentioned in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, chapter R.7.1.10.3, page 123. Therefore, it can be concluded that the test material exhibit no risk for flammability on contact with water.

Flammability, pyrophoric solids:

The study is scientifically not necessary, because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and the test material does not contain structural components associated with pyrophoricity mentioned in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, chapter R.7.1.10.3, page 123. Therefore, it can be concluded that the test material exhibit no risk for pyrophoricity.

Flammability, self-heating substances:

The test item was assessed for its self-heating properties in a non-GLP study. The test was done in the Grewer Oven according to VDI 2263 Sheet 1. The pure test item shows no self-ignition up to the test end temperature of 400 °C and is considered therefore to have no self-heating properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The sample was tested for its flammable properties in a non-GLP stsudy similar to VDI 2263-1 Anhang 2, Brennzahl. The test is a kind of pre-test, similar to UN Test N.1. If the outcome of the test shows "Brennzahlen" BZ 1 - 3 this shows a negative outcome of the pre-test in the sense of UN Test N.1.

For the test item a "Brennzahl" between 1 and 2 was observed:

BZ 1: no burning

BZ 2: short burning and rapid extinction

Therefore the sample is considered as non-flammable solid. The main test is unnecessary.

Based on the physical state, the structural elements and the melting point the substance has neither to be classified as flammable in contact with air, nor as pyrophoric solid.

As the substance shows no self-heating properties during a screening test (Grewer oven) and must therefore not classified as self-heating substance.
