Description of key information

As liquid the primary ease of ignition is flash point; and hence the hazard of flammability is already described by the flash point and no flammability test needs to be conducted.
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, no study regarding pyrophoric property for this substance need to be conducted, since the substance is known to be stable at room temperature, based on the experience in production and handling.
This substance does not ignite spontaneously with water and does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts in contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not yet classified in the Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC. According to the information summarized in this below, no classification on flammability is needed:

- As liquid, no flash point up to 250 °C (Currenta, 2008);

- As liquid, boiling point is higher than 300 °C (Bayer Industry Services, 2007);

- No pyrophoric property, based on experience from production and handling;

- It does not ignite spontaneously with water and does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts in contact with water (Currenta, 2008).

Based on the data summarized above, the substance is also not flammable according to GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
