Description of key information

Trimethylamine N-oxide is not considered as a pyrophoric solid nor a flammable solid


 


The flammability (gases) study does not need to be conducted because trimethylamine N-oxide is a solid (study technically not feasible).


 


The flammability (contact with water) study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that trimethylamine N-oxide does not react with water, e.g., trimethylamine N-oxide is manufactured with water or washed with water (study scientifically not necessary)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Trimethylamine N-oxide is white solid powder that is not considered as a pyrophoric solid nor a flammable solid. Therefore the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 as amended (the EU CLP Regulation) for flammable solids have not been met and trimethylamine N-oxide is not classified according to the CLP Annex I Part 2 Section 2.7.
