study done -report need to be written

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item was not a flammable solid.

Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the flammability of test item according to UN N1, resp. EU A.10 guideline.

The test item was considered non flammable solid.

Reference 2

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

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

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 1 of REACh Annex XI, study for pyrophoric properties is deemed unnecessary based on the experience in handling, testing and use of the substance and based on the chemical structure of the known constituents of the substance that do not fall into critical categories described in ECHA guidance.
The tests performed on the substance and reported in this dossier showed that the substance clearly does not react with air. Moreover, a review of the chemical structure of the known constituents suggests that there are no chemical groups present in these constituents that would imply pyrophoric properties. Therefore, the study was considered as unnecessary.

Reference 3

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

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 1 of REACh Annex XI, study for flammability if contact with water is deemed unnecessary based on the experience in handling and use of the substance and based on the chemical structure of known constituents of the substance that do not fall into critical categories described in ECHA guidance.
A review of the chemical structure of the known constituents suggests that there are no chemical groups present that would imply flammability on contact with water. Therefore no reaction is anticipated on the extracts of this substance.
Finally,no experience in handling and use of the extract has been reported, which could cast doubt on the NON-flammability if contact with water of the extract.
Therefore, the study was considered as unnecessary.

Description of key information

No propagation in contact with a flame: not a flammable solid (CLP/GHS).

Not flammable if contact with air or water (waived).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to EU A10, resp. UN N1 guideline is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item was tested for its flammable properties following EU-Method A.10 and UN N.1. 

It was not considered as a flammable solid.
