Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

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

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
Statement as presented in the study report (see Attached justification) was based on the composition and molecular structure of the substance.
In accordance with UN ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.6 (RTDG- Manual of Tests and Criteria) Appendix 6-Screening procedures/Section 5.3 for substances which in contact with water may react to emit flammable gases, no further data are required. The classification procedure for substances which may react with water to emit flammable gases does not need to be applied.

Description of key information

No pyrophoric properties (based on structural features).

Not highly flammable in contact with water (based on structural features).

Self-heating is not a relevant property for this substance (melting point < 160°C).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification or non-classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008:

Not a flammable liquid (flash point is > 60°C).

Not a pyrophoric liquid (the substance lacks functional groups that would imply this hazard)

No classification for the hazard "Substances which in contact with water emits flammable gases' (the substance lacks functional groups that would imply this hazard)

Since the melting temperature of the substance is below 160°C, the substance need not be considered for CLP classification in the 'Self-heating substances' class.
