Referenceopen allclose all
The substance does not liberate gases in hazardous amounts when tested according to this procedure.
The test substance is classified as not highly flammable when tested according to Test Procedure A.10, 'Determination of Flammability in Solid Materials'.
The test substance has no pyrophoric properties in the sense of this test procedure.
Description of key information
The substance is considered not highly flammable (EC-A.10), does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts (EC-A.12), does not deliver indications of pyrophoric properties during the realization of other tests (EC-A.13), and is not expected to be self-heating as the melting point is < 160 ºC.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:
No propagation of burning in a test according to EU Method A.10. The substance does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts (EC-A.12), does not deliver indications of pyrophoric properties during the realization of other tests (EC-A.13). Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is a completely molten at 160 °C. A liquid shows no self-heating behavior if it is not absorbed on a large surface.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
