Additional information

Flammability (solids)

A flammability study was performed with lithium bis(oxalato)borate according to EU method A.10. Based on this test, lithium bis(oxalato)borate is non-flammable. (NOTOX, 2004)

Flammability (upon contact with water)

A flammability study was performed with lithium bis(oxalato)borate according to EU method A.12. Based on this test, lithium bis(oxalato)borate is non-flammable. (NOTOX, 2004)

Flammability (pyrophoric properties)

A flammability study was performed with lithium bis(oxalato)borate according to EU method A.13. Based on this test, lithium bis(oxalato)borate is not pyrophoric. (NOTOX, 2004)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of all three flammability studies, lithium bis(oxalato)borate is not classified and labelled as flammable and/or pyrophoric according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
