Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Type of information:
- other: Expert judgement based on the molecular structure of the constituents of the substance
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- 05 February 2010 – 20 May 2010
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The EU method was followed. Based on the molecular structure of the constituents of the test substance an expert statement rather than a full study is considered sufficient to cover this endpoint.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
- Deviations:
- not applicable
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:

Referenceopen allclose all
A test substance is considered highly flammable when it ignites spontaneously in contact with water, or evolves a flammable gas at a minimum rate of ≥ 1 litre/kg of the substance per hour.
Though exact composition is unknown, it is expected that the compounds present in the test substance do not contain groups that might lead to ignition in contact with water and/or to the evolution of a flammable gas. Moreover the test substance was dissolved in water during the determination of the water solubility (section 4.8). It demonstrated that the test substance does not ignite spontaneously in contact with water.
A test substance is considered pyrophoric when it ignites within five minutes of coming in contact with air.
Though exact composition is unknown, it is expected that the compounds present in the test substance do not contain groups that might lead to ignition in contact with air. Moreover the test substance was handled under normal laboratory conditions NOTOX project 492959. It demonstrated that the test substance does not ignite in contact with air.
Description of key information
The substance does not ignite spontaneously in contact with water and has no pyrophoric properties. Expert judgement based on the molecular structure of the constituents of the substance
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not ignite spontaneously in contact with water, has no pyrophoric properties and its flashpoint is 163 degrees Celsius.
