- Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric liquids
- 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
- 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 substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be conducted as:
a) No flammability in contact with water: The substance contains no metals or metalloids and therefore will not release flammable gases in contact with water.
b) Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.
c) Due to the flash point of 86°C, the substance is not a flammable liquid.
d) Due to the substance being a liquid, self-heating is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Due to the flash point of 86°C, m-cresol is not a flammable liquid, has no pyrophoric property, and does not emit flammable gases in contact with water and as a liquid is not suspected of self-heating. Hence no classification according to both Directive 67/548/EEC and GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008) is required.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
