Description of key information

In a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with EC A.10, the substance has been determined to be 'not highly flammable' by ignition. In GLP expert statements it was concluded that the substance has no pyrophoric properties and is not highly flammable in contact with water as the substance lacks structural alerts for these properties and experience in handling showed that the substance does not react with water nor ignite spontaneously when coming into contact with air at normal temperatures.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the fastest obtained burning time over a distance of 100 mm (after the pile burned a distance of 80 mm) in a study performed in accordance with EC A.10 was 60 seconds, the substance is not considered a flammable solid in accordance with the CLP Regulation, as it is more than 45 seconds.

Based on expert statements, no classification for the hazards 'Pyrophoric solids' and 'Substances which in contact with water emits flammable gases' is needed in accordance with the CLP Regulation.

Whether the substance is not self-heating in accordance with the CLP Regulation has not been determined and is not needed as the substance is not marketed in the EU as such, but only as part of mixtures.
