Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 27 Oct 2015 - 18 Nov 2016
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study without detailed documentation
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.4 (Test method for self-heating substances)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Other quality assurance:
- ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- other: 1 L and 16 mL oven sample
- Max. temp. reached:
- 153
- Induction time (h):
- 5
- Result:
- negative outcome (no effect observed)
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- ‘Fluocortolon' is classified as a not self-heating substance.
- Executive summary:
No temperature difference to the storage temperature of > 60 K was reached. The maximum difference was 13 °C. Thus, ‘Fluocortolon' is classified as a not self-heating substance.
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric 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 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
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 18 Nov 2018
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Other quality assurance:
- ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Remarks on result:
- substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Fluocortolon is a non flammable solid when measured as stipulated in UN test procedure ‘Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria’ (UN-MTC), Part III, sub-section 33.2.1.4.1, Test N.1 ‘Test method for readily combustible solids’.
- Executive summary:
Fluocortolon is a non flammable solid when measured as stipulated in UN test procedure ‘Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria’ (UN-MTC), Part III, sub-section 33.2.1.4.1, Test N.1 ‘Test method for readily combustible solids’.

Description of key information
a.) Flammability: Fluocortolon is a non-flammable solid according to UN-MTC Procedure N.1.
b.) Pyrophoric properties: Fluocortolon did not deliver indications of pyrophoric properties during the realization of other tests. The determination according to UN-MTC Procedure N.2 is not necessary.
c.) Contact with water: A review of the structure suggests that there are no chemical groups present that would imply pyrophoric properties or flammability on contact with water. A review of handling and use implies no pyrophoric properties or flammability on contact with water. Testing according to UN Procedure N.5 is not necessary.
d.) Self-heating substances: Fluocortolon is not a self-heating substance in the sense of CLP Annex I, 2.11.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
