Description of key information

In contact with the ignition source, the test substance melted. The melt could be ignited with the flame and burned. However, the test substance could not sustain a burning reaction. In conclusion, the test substance is not highly flammable according to the criteria as described in the EU method A. 10. 
The chemical structure of the test substanc does not contain chemical groups, which may lead to the conclusion that the test substance is capable of developing a dangerous amount of (flammable) gas in contact with air, damp air or water. From the structural formula of the test substance it was concluded that the test substance is not pyrophoric. The test substance does not contain any chemical group that might lead to spontaneously ignition a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature (circa 20°C).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The flammability of the test substance was determined according to EU method A.10. In contact with the ignition source, the test substance melted. The melt could be ignited with the flame and burned. However, the test substance could not sustain a burning reaction. In conclusion, the test substance is not highly flammable according to the criteria as described in the EU method A. 10. The flammability (contact with water) of the test substance was estimated according to EU method A.12. The chemical structure of the test substance does not contain chemical groups, which may lead to the conclusion that the test substance is capable of developing a dangerous amount of (flammable) gas in contact with air, damp air or water. The pyrophoric properties of the test substance were estimated according to EU method A.13. From the structural formula of Urea 6 it was concluded that the test substance is not pyrophoric. The test substance does not contain any chemical group that might lead to spontaneously ignition a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature (circa 20°C).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the flammability experiment, the structure of the molecule and experience in handling and use, the test substance was not classified and labelled as flammable, flammable in contact with water and pyrophoric according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation 1272/2008/EEC (CLP).
