Description of key information

Regarding physico-chemical properties, there are no classification requirements for the submission substance according to REGULATION (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Relevant key information on physico-chemical properties and corresponding classification consideration is given in the endpoint summaries on the respective properties.
For a summary and conclusion regarding overall physical hazards and respective classification and labelling requirements, see below!

Additional information

A full set of physico-chemical information is available, determined according to established testing guidelines. Classification issues are discussed in the relevant endpoint summaries in more detail. Here, only a brief summary is given:



Because of a flash point 63 °C, according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation) there are no classification requirements with regard to flammable liquids.
Pyrophoric properties as well as formation of flammable gases in contact with water can be excluded based on experience from the handling and use of the substance. Further, the auto-ignition temperature of 355 °C corroborates that the substance is not pyrophoric.



Regarding corrosiveness to metals, it is known that the substance is transported exclusively in stainless steel containers. Accordingly, contact to steel or aluminium containers can safely be excluded and thus, testing for metal corrosiveness is not required.



With regard to classification for self-reactiveness, according to CLP, Annex I, 2.8.4.2. "The classification procedures for self-reactive substances and mixtures need not be applied if:
(a) There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self reactive properties. Examples of such groups are given in Tables A6.1 and A6.2 in Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria;”
This applies for the submission substance.



Explosive properties can be excluded as well from structural considerations according to CLP Annex I section 2.1.4.3.: "A substance or mixture shall not be classified as explosive if:
(a) There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. Examples of groups which may indicate explosive properties are given in Table A6.1 in Appendix 6 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria rev. 7, 2019." This applies to the submission substance.



According to (1), the phenomenon of self-heating applies only to solids. The surface of liquids is not large enough for reaction with air, and the available test method is not applicable to liquids. Therefore, liquids are not classified as self-heating.


Oxidising properties can be excluded as well, based on a reliable and valid GLP study performed according to UN method O.2.


Overall, according to REGULATION (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) there are no classification requirements for this substance.
