Trehalose

Auto flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (solids)

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Justification for type of information:

In addition Trehalose is a disaccharide sugar and for this class of substances, no concerns for physico-chemical hazards are present.

Reference 2

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (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 a solid having a melting point <= 160°C

Justification for type of information:

This waiving argument is applicable to the Dihydrate Form of Trehalose as the melting point of this form is at 97 °C.

Description of key information

Based on experience in handling and production and scientific reasons (low melting point of the dihydrate form),

Auto flammability / Self-ignition does not have to be tested and can be excluded under normal or foreseeable conditions.
