Key result
Test procedure:
other: The test was performed as stipulated in Test Procedure A 10 and the Bayer SOP "Determation of Flamability in Solid Materials".
Remarks on result:
other: The test substance melted when approached by the ognition flame. The substance didn`t burn down or burn up.

The substance melted when approached by the ignition flame. The substance didn't burn down or burn up.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The substance is classified as non flammable.
Executive summary:

The substance is classified as not highly flammable when tested according to the EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)).

The substance melted when approached by the ignition flame. The substance didn't burn down or burn up.

Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Remarks on result:
no reaction with water observed
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

The substance does not emit flammable gases on contact with water.

Interpretation of results:
other: contact with water does not liberate flammable gases
Conclusions:
The substance does not emit flammable gases on contact with water.
Executive summary:

Investigating the substance according to the EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water)) no emission of flammable gases was observed.

Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

The substance is classified as non flammable, does not emit flammable gases on contact with water and has no pyrophoric properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The substance is classified as not highly flammable when tested according to the EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)).

Investigating the substance according to the EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water)) no emission of flammable gases was observed.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, a study does not need to be conducted as it is scientifically unjustified. Based on experience during handling and use, no pyrophoric properties were observed and the structure does not give a reference to pyrophoric properties.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is non flammable, it has no pyrophoric properties, and no flammability in contact with water; and hence no classification according to both, Directive 67/548/EEC and GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
