Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
06 March 2014
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Lot Number: 1102/2014
Key result
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks on result:
no ignition within 5 minutes
Key result
Test procedure:
effect on filter paper
Remarks on result:
no charring

Porcelain cup test (test 1): no ignition and no reaction was observed in any of the 6 repetitions.

Filter paper test (test 2): no ignition, no charring and no reaction was observed in any of the 3 repetitions.

Since no ignitions or charring was observed during any test, the sample is considered not pyrophoric.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item is not pyrophoric.
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Remarks on result:
no reaction with water observed

No gas generation or spontaneous ignitions were observed during any of the initial tests (test 1 - test 3) and in the final test (test 4).

It is concluded that the sample does not generate flammable gases in contact with water and is therefore non-hazardous.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test substance does not generate flammable gases in contact with water.
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
Endpoint:
self-heating substances / mixtures
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information

The test substance is not considered a substance which emits flammable gases after contact with water or a pyrophoric substance (K1, Dekra, 2014).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on experimental data, the test substance is not considered a substance which emits flammable gases after contact with water or a pyrophoric substance (K1, Dekra, 2014). Since the substance is a liquid, the endpoints flammable solids and self-heating substance are not applicable.
