Reaction product of salicylaldehyde and formaldehyde and phenol

Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

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 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

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 1.5 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be performed as based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected. In addition, under conditions where the substance is in contact with water, no ignition and/or liberation of flammable gases is observed.

Reference 2

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

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 1.5 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be performed as based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected. In addition, in the daily use and handling of the substance during which exposure to air can occur, no spontaneous ignition is observed.

Reference 3

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

16 October 2018

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Version / remarks:

2008

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

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 the preliminary tests (two independent experiments), the test material melted and ignited for a few seconds without the propagation by burning with flame. Based on the results of the preliminary tests, no main test was performed.

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified according to EU criteria

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study the test material could not be ignited with the propagation of the flame. Therefore, the substance is considered not to be highly flammable.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test material was assessed in accordance with standardised guidelines EU Method A.10 and in accordance with GLP.

In the preliminary tests (two independent experiments), the test material melted and ignited for a few seconds without the propagation by burning with flame. Based on the results of the preliminary tests, no main test was performed. 

Under the conditions of the study the test material could not be ignited with the propagation of the flame. Therefore, the substance is considered not to be highly flammable.

Description of key information

Flammability (solids)

Under the conditions of the study the test material could not be ignited with the propagation of the flame. Therefore, the substance is considered not to be highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

Flammability (Solids)

The flammability of the test material was assessed in accordance with standardised guidelines EU Method A.10 and in accordance with GLP. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

In the preliminary tests (two independent experiments), the test material melted and ignited for a few seconds without the propagation by burning with flame. Based on the results of the preliminary tests, no main test was performed. 

Under the conditions of the study the test material could not be ignited with the propagation of the flame. Therefore, the substance is considered not to be highly flammable.

Flammability in Contact with Water

In accordance with section 1.5 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be performed as based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected. In addition, under conditions where the substance is in contact with water, no ignition and/or liberation of flammable gases is observed.

Pyrophoricity

In accordance with section 1.5 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be performed as based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected. In addition, in the daily use and handling of the substance during which exposure to air can occur, no spontaneous ignition is observed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to flammability.
