Description of key information

The substance is non flammable in contact with water and not pyrophoric.The preliminary test according to method A 10 "Flammability (solids)" of Directive 92/69/EEC was performed and the substance was found to be not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the directive. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The preliminary test according to method A 10 "Flammability (solids)" of Directive 92/69/EEC was performed and the test substance was found to be not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the directive. Based on the evaluation of the structural formula of BMH (absence of structural alerts) and experience with handling during testing it was concluded that the test substance 1. is incapable of developing a dangerous amount of (flammable) gas when coming into contact with air, damp air or water and 2. does not ignite spontaneously when coming into contact with air. The test substance is thus non flammable in contact with water and not pyrophoric.

No UN test is available. However, because no propagation of combustion was seen in the EC A.10 test, further testing according to UN scheme is not required. In conclusion, BMH does not need to be classified and labelled as flammable according to EC 1272/2008.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is non flammable in contact with water and not pyrophoric.The preliminary test according to method A 10 "Flammability (solids)" of Directive 92/69/EEC was performed and the substance was found to be not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the directive.
