Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

pyrophoric liquids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Reference 2

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Reference 3

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

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

Description of key information

highly flammable liquid
no pyrophoricity
no flammibility in contact with water

not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

highly flammable

Additional information

Based on flash point and boiling point the substance is a highly flammable liquid. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity, flammability in contact with water and self-heating are not expected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on the flash point and the boiling point of the test substance meet the criteria for classification as flammable liquid cat. 2 (H225) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

The available data on pyrophoricity and flammbility in contact with water of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity, flammability in contact with water and self-heating are not expected.
