Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
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 DATA WAIVING
In accordance with Section 2 of REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006: Annex XI, the study of flash-point does not need to be completed, based on the physical state of the substance. According to Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 as amended EU Method A.9: Flash-Point is only applicable to liquids at room temperature. Therefore the method, has limited to no applicability to solids with high melting temperatures. At temperatures close to the melting-point the test item should behave similarly to ‘pasty-substances’ which under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 as amended and the UN Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria (2015) would be tested and application, where necessary of the flammable solid or combustible solid substance classification criteria. According to ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment (Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance, R.7.1.9 and R.7.1.10.3, July 2017) and ECHA Guidance on Application of the CLP Criteria (version 5.0, July 2017) the study does not need to be conducted.
