Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
- Type of information:
- calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1994
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Extrapolated
- Justification for type of information:
- A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Extrapolation from published data
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- estimated by calculation
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Non flammable
- Remarks:
- on the basis of flash point value
- Conclusions:
- Reported LEL and UEL are respectively 0.6% and 7.0% v/v.
- Executive summary:
The lower explosion limit and upper explosion limit of the substance Hydrocarbons, C14-C19, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics have been established by extrapolation of published data as respectively 0.6 and 7.0% v/v.
The minimum flash point being higher than 60°C, the substance is considered as non flammable.
Considering the chemical structure and the experience in handling and use, pyrophoric properties and flammability on contact with water can be ruled out for this substance.

Description of key information
There is no data available for Hydrocarbons, C13-C16, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. Data is available for Hydrocarbons C14-C19, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics and based on an analogue approach, this data is used for read across to Hydrocarbons, C13-C16, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics.
The lower explosion limit and upper explosion limit of the substance Hydrocarbons, C14-C19, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics have been established by extrapolation of published data as respectively 0.6 and 7.0% v/v.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
According to REACH guidance R7a, the flammability of liquids is determined on basis of their flashpoint (in combination with their boiling point), their ability to emit flammable gases upon contact with water and their pyrophoricity. The minimum flash point being higher than 60 °C (see section 4.11), this substance is considered as non flammable (CLP Regulation CE 1272/2008).
The molecular structure of the constituents does not contain groups that indicate potential reactivity with water or pyrophoric properties and the experience in handling and use of this substance indicates that this is the case.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The minimum flash point is >93°C. (see section 4.11).
