A.13. Pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids: not flammable
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
A.10: The substance could not be ignited by a flame, so it is not a highly flammable solid in the sense oft the Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.10. and it is not a flammable solid in the sense of the classification criteria as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
and subsequent adaptations.
A.11: In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI section 1, a test according to A.11 (flammability; gases) is not considered to be required, since the test item is a solid substance with a melting point of 178.4 °C and therefore not a gas at room temperature.
A.12: In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI section 1, a test according to A.12 (flammability; contact with water) is not considered to be required, because the substance does not contain groups that might lead to a reaction with water or damp air, leading to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable. Furthermore, experience in practical handling of the substance shows that it does not react with water.
A.13: In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI section 1, a test according to A.13 (pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids) is not considered to be required, since the test substance is stable at ambient temperature. The substance does not contain any chemical group that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature (approx 20 °C). Furthermore, experience in handling shows that the substance does not ignite in contact with air.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test item is not a flammable solid in the sense of the classification criteria as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
and subsequent adaptations.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
