Reaction mass of (3aR,5aS,9aS,9bR)-3a,6,6,9a-Tetramethyldodecahydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan and (3aS,5aR,9aR,9bS)-3a,6,6,9a-Tetramethyldodecahydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan

Flash point

Administrative data

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with section 2 of REACh Annex XI, flash point measurement does not apply to solids, and melting point is above the highest CLP classification threshold. Please refer to Flammable solids under IUCLID section 4.13.

Cross-reference

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From 2008-07-07 to 2008-10-07

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Remarks:

The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised with its purity. Therefore full validation applies.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Remarks:

Inspected on 05th to 06th and 26th to 30th November 2007 / Decision 30 April 2008 / Signed on 12th November 2008

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

During the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes), the substance melted immediately in contact with the ignition source, and could not be ignited.

Therefore, no main test was performed.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item is NOT classified as a flammable solid according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP) criteria.

Executive summary:

The substance was tested for its flammable properties, according to EC A10 guideline, and under GLP.

During the preliminary assay, the item could not be ignited within the 2-min duration of application of the burner flame. Therefore no main test was performed.
