Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

supporting study

Study period:

Report generated on 22 Jun 2020

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

With consideration of the structure and experience in handling the substance, the substance is known to not be flammable. It is designed for use in curing epoxy resins at elevated temperatures so stabiity is an inherent characteristic of the desired properties.

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
Please see attached QPRF

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
The result will be used as a weight of evidence approach to support a conclusion that the test substance is not flammable.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: REACH guidance on QSAR R6

Version / remarks:

May 2008

Principles of method if other than guideline:

REACH Annex XI allows for adaptation of certain testing requirements if certain conditions are fulfilled, in particular if testing is technically not feasible, and if results from a reliable QSAR method can be used to conclude on a particular end point.
Based on known structural similarity, it's technical applications and extensive experience handling the substance, the substance is known not to be flammable.
A QSAR approach using USA EPA T.E.S.T was used to support this conclusion.

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

SMILES Code: C1(CC2C(CC1C2)CNC(=O)(CC(#N)))CNC(=O)(CC(#N))

Key result

Test procedure:

other: QSAR

Remarks on result:

other: Not Flammable

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

A QSAR approach using USA EPA T.E.S.T was used to estimate the flammability.
The conclusion was that the material was not flammable.

Executive summary:

A QSAR approach using USA EPA T.E.S.T was used to estimate the flammability.

The results was as follows:

QSAR Results using T.E.S.T: Flash point > 340°C

The substance is was designed for use in curing epoxy resins at elevated temperatures so stabiity is an inherent characteristic of the desired properties. The substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time. It is known from extensive use and experience of working with the substance, it does not ignite easily at elevated temperatures and no burning time can be calculated. Fire is not caused through friction of the solid.

Description of key information

Information from both QSAR in silico predictions and testing is available. Testing was conducted to EU method A10 and concluded that the substance is not flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time and experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water. The substance is not easily combustable at elevated temperatures and does not contribute fire through friction. Testing conducted to EU Method A10 concludes that the substance is not flammable.

The substance does not fulfil the requirements for classification.
