Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Study period:

The study was conducted on 19 May 2017.

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Qualifier:

no guideline required

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Not relevant (theoretical consideration based on chemical structure)

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

From the structural formula Amyl Vinyl Carbinol is not expected to react significantly with water at 20'C, and will in no way emit flammable gases. This is in line with the fact that during studies such as the determination of the water solubility of Amyl Vinyl Carbinol (Water Solubility of Amyl Vinyl Carbinol, Givaudan Suisse SA, Study No. 17-E142) no reaction of Amyl Vinyl Carbinol with water was reported.
Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the contact of the substance with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.

Executive summary:

It can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the contact of the substance Amyl Vinyl Carbinol with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.

Reference 4

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

other:

Justification for type of information:

The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (IUCLID section 4.1) with a freezing point of < -50 °C (see IUCLID section 4.2), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable solid.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Description of key information

In accordance with annex XI of REACH flammability(solids) is not technically possible for this liquid substance.

In accordance with annex XI of REACH flammability(gases) is not technically possible for this liquid substance.
In accordance with annex XI of REACH flammability(contact with air and water) is not necessary based on experience from safe handling and use

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

Testing for this endpoint has been waived because the studies are scientifically unjustified. The substance is a liquid and the key value for flammability of liquids is the flash point.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, section 2.6, "Flammable liquid means a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60 °C". The flash point (IUCLID section 4.11 , CSR section 1.3), 71°C, is higher than this value and so the substance should not be classified as a flammable liquid. The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (IUCLID section 4.1, CSR section 1.3) with a freezing point of < -50 °C (see IUCLID section 4.2, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable solid, and with a low vapour pressure of 30 Pa at 20 °C (see IUCLID section 4.6, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable gas.
