Description of key information

Stability To Heat, Light, and Metals
Justification For Waiving (ECHA TGD refs 7.1.10, 7.1.11, and 7.1.13)
  
According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE, study for Stability is only required if stability of the substance is considered to be critical.
Alcohols, C12-14, as substance from Long Chain Alcohols Category is stable for long periods.
Long Chain Alcohols are expected to be stable for the recommended shelf life of 24 months for drums and 6 months for bulk if the container has been unopened and stored under proper handling and storage conditions
  
This substance is considered stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure.  This includes exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods of time and various metals and metal alloys commonly present in storage vessels. This substance is also stable to heating provided that the temperature does not approach its auto flammability point, nor is exposed to temperatures near its flash point (while in the presence of an ignition source).
 
Therefore testing for Stability: thermal, sunlight, metals does not need to be performed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the hazard assessment of Alcohols, C12-14 in section 2.1 and 2.2 in IUCLID 5.4, available data for the substance and according to the criteria described in Directive 67/548/EEC and in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation):

 

 

Directive 67/548	Thermal stability R5 Heating may cause an explosion. R6 Explosive with or without contact with air.
CLP	Self-reactive substances and mixures H240: Heating may cause an explosion. H241: Heating may cause a fire or explosion. H242: Heating may cause a fire. Self-react. Type A Self-react. Type B Self-react. Type C Self-react. Type D Self-react. Type E

 

  

It is concluded that none of the above phrase has not to be assigned to Alcohols, C12-14 and   does not meet the criteria to be classified for Stability: thermal, sunlight, metals.
