Description of key information
Flammability: non-flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The test was not conducted. The study does not need to be conducted as the flammability of a substance such as this is more appropriately assessed by reference to the flash point of a melted form (Section 7.9). In accordance with Section 1 of REACH Annex XI, studies of Pyrophoricity and Flammability on contact with water do not need to be conducted because the substance has none of the functional groups which are indicative of these hazards. Tetracosanol forms no flammable gases after contact with water. Tetracosanol does not ignite a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is not classified for flammability based on flash point data.
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.
