Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

2 -Phenylphenol did not show indications of pyrophoric properties during  tests according to EC A.10 and EC A.12.
Interpretation of results:
other: no pyrophoric properties
Endpoint:
self-heating substances / mixtures
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 completely molten at 160°C

Description of key information

Not flammable
No pyrophoricity
No flammability in contact with water

Not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The substance was found to be non-flammable during tests according to EU Method A.10. It did not become spontaneously flammable or emit flammable gases in contact with water during tests according to EU Method A.12. It did not show indications of pyrophoric properties during tests according to EU Method A.13.

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. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is completely molten at 160 °C and therefore does not show self-heating behaviour.
