Reference 1

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:

In accordance with annex XI of REACH, flammability(solids) is not technically possible for this liquid substance.
The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (IUCLID section 4.1, CSR section 1.3) with a freezing point of -50 °C (see IUCLID section 4.2, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable solid.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Conclusions:

In accordance with annex XI of REACH, flammability(solids) is not technically possible for this liquid substance.
The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (IUCLID section 4.1, CSR section 1.3) with a freezing point of -50 °C (see IUCLID section 4.2, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable solid.

Executive summary:

In accordance with annex XI of REACH, flammability(solids) is not technically possible for this liquid substance.

The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (IUCLID section 4.1, CSR section 1.3) with a freezing point of  -50 °C (see IUCLID section 4.2, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a 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 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

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Conclusions:

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

Executive summary:

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

Description of key information

As the substance is a liquid, the relevant test for flammable properties is the Flash Point measurement.

A fully reliable experimental study is presented in IUCLID section 4.11 : flash point of Sinodor CQ is 192.5 °C.

In addition, from the structural formulae of its constituents SINODOR CQ is not expected to react significantly with water at 20°C, and will no way emit flammable gases. For example, during the determination of the water solubility presented in IUCLID section 4.8, no reaction of SINODOR CQ with water was observed. Therefore it can be concluded that the contact of SINODOR CQ with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP) criteria, the measured flash point is above the threshold value of 60°C, therefore the substance is NOT considered as a flammable liquid.

According to UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS) criteria, the measured flash point is above the threshold value of 93°C, therefore the substance is NOT considered as a flammable liquid.
