other: EU GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance could be ignited with a flame, without propagation. The substance melted and became dark.

Executive summary:

Flammability of the test item was studied according to Guideline 92/69/EEC, test A. 10 and GLP. The test substance could be ignited with a flame, without propagation. The substance melted and became dark. The main test is unnecessary, because no propagation was observed. The test substance is not a readily combustible solid in the sense of Guideline 92/69/EEC, test A. 10.

Description of key information

Flammability:

Flammability of the test item was studied according to Guideline 92/69/EEC, test A. 10 and GLP. The test substance could be ignited with a flame, without propagation. The substance melted and became dark. The main test is unnecessary, because no propagation was observed. The test substance is not a readily combustible solid in the sense of Guideline 92/69/EEC, test A. 10.

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 study is scientifically not necessary, because the substance is completely molten at 160 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance could be ignited with a flame, without propagation.

The main test is unnecessary, because no propagation was observed. The test substance is not a readily combustible solid in the sense of Guideline 92/69/EEC, test A. 10.

Based on the physical state, the structural elements and the melting point the substance has not to be classified as flammable in contact with air, as pyrophoric solid and self-heating substance.
