Description of key information
In accordance with section 1 of annex XI, no test of flammability is required: Test A.10 is not applicable to a liquid. Based on the known chemical and physical properties of the substance in use, negative results are predicted for the following flammability tests of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, so it is considered justified to omit them: A.12 (Flammability in contact with water) & A.13 (Pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids)
