Description of key information
The substance, silane:
• Is extremely flammable
• The flammability in contact with water is not relevant because the substance is a pyrophoric gas
• Is pyrophoric
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- pyrophoric
Additional information
A reliable handbook indicates that the substance ignites spontaneously in contact with air. A secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned supports this conclusion.
On this basis, the requirement to test for the flammability range of a gas is waived.
A secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned gives the flammability range in air of the substance as 1.4 -96%.
Hydrides may be flammable in contact with water (REACH Guidance R7a); however, testing for this property is not considered necessary because the substance is known to be flammable in contact with air.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is classified as follows:
Classification and Labelling according to Regulation 1272/2008: Flam. Gas 1; H220 Extremely flammable gas.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
