Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
flammable

Additional information

The flammability study is not required for liquids as flammability is assessed on the basis of flash point.

 

There is no indication on the basis of structure and experience in handling and use that the substance is pyrophoric (flammable in contact with air) or flammable in contact with water.

 

Therefore, in accordance with Section 1 of REACH Annex XI, there is no need to conduct further flammability testing

Justification for classification or non-classification

Reliable flash points of 31.5 - 37°C have been measured for the substance; the boiling point is 152.4°C.

The flash point of 31.5 - 37°C indicates the following classifications:

Classification and Labelling according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008: Flam. Liq. 3, H226: Flammable Liquid and Vapour
