Reference

Reference 1

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

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:

24 November - 14 December 2004

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 (incl. QA statement)

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Batch n°: ZR027180PUH301
- Analytical purity: 99.6%
- Manufacturing date: 18 October 2002
- Expiration date: 18 October 2008
- Storage conditions: at room temperature

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

In contact with the flame of the gas burner the test item melted and burned by emitting some sparks during about 5 seconds. After removal of the ignition source (after 2 minutes), combustion stopped. There was no propagation of burning.

Therefore, the test item is considered as not highly flammable and it is not necessary to carry out the full test.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item is considered to be not highly flammable.

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

Description of key information

From a GLP key study according to the guideline EC A.10 (K1, De Ryckel, 2004), the test substance was determined to be not highly flammable. Furthermore, no self-ignition was observed in a GLP study according to the guideline EC A.16 (K1, Bates, 2002) and therefore, the test substance was considered to be not self-heating. Based on the structure and experience in handling, no pyrophoric properties and no emission of flammable gases in contact with water is expected.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

From a GLP study according to the guideline EC A.10 (K1, De Ryckel, 2004), the test substance was determined to be not highly flammable. Furthermore, no self-ignition was observed in a GLP study according to the guideline EC A.16 (K1, Bates, 2002) and therefore, the test substance was considered to be not self-heating.
