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 experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From July 18, 2017 to August 24, 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Moisture (wt %):
0.31
Remarks on result:
other: The sample melted, no flame or propagation observed
Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was not found to be flammable.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.10, in compliance with GLP. During a preliminary study, the test substance melted, however no flame or propagation was observed. Under the study conditions, the test substance was not found to be flammable (Chilworth, 2017).

Endpoint:
pyrophoric liquids
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

Description of key information

The flammability of the test substance was determined according to EU Method A.10 (Chilworth, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results from a well conducted guideline study, the test substance does not warrant classification for flammability according to EU CLP criteria (Regulation 1272/2008/EC).
