Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- non flammable
- Remarks:
- Migrated information not classified as flammable liquid
- Conclusions:
- This handbook reports the following values regarding the explosive limits of benzal chloride in air:
lower explosive limit : 1.1 vol%
upper explosive limit: 11 vol%
Benzal chloride should be not classified as flammable liquid since its flash point is higher than 60 °C. - Executive summary:
This handbook reports the following values regarding the explosive limits of benzal chloride in air:
lower explosive limit : 1.1 vol%
upper explosive limit: 11 vol%
According to the CLP regulation n° 1272/2008, benzal chloride should not be classified as a flammable liquid since its flash point is equal to 93°C.
Only liquids with a flash point inferior or equal to 60°C are considered as flammable liquids.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
