Reference 2

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 substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture

Reference 3

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

Description of key information

The test substance is not considered as highly flammable.
The test substance is not pyrophoric.
The test substance does not emit flammable gases in contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

According to guideline 92/69/EEC Method A.10, the test item was determined to be not highly flammable.

Testing for pyrophoric properties of solids is not considered to be required, since this substance is stable at ambient temperature. This substance also does not contain any chemical groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature (circa 20 °C) . Furthermore, long-term industrial experience in handling shows that the substance does not ignite in contact with air (in accordance with section 1, Annex XI of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006).

Testing for flammability in contact with water is not considered to be required, because the substance does not contain groups that might lead to a reaction with water or damp air, leading to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable. Furthermore, long-term industrial experience in practical handling of the substance shows that it does not react with water, and recent experimental testing for water solubility has also not reported any formation of gases (in accordance with section 1, Annex XI of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance does not need to be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 since it is not highly flammable.
