Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Reference 2

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

Reference 3

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

Reference 4

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

non flammable

no pyrophoricity

no flammability on contact with water

not self-heating

Additional information

According to EC 1907/2006 Annex XI only the flammability of liquids is deduced from the flash point. For this solid substance a flash point was determined because the substance melts at relatively low temperatures. Therefore the flammability in this case could be deduced from the flash point and boiling point, which are 230 °C (open cup) and 274 °C respectively.

Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure, pyrophoricity, flammability on contact with water and self-heating are not to be expected.
