Results and discussion
Pyrophoric solids
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Pyrophoric liquids
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The pile failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test. The material is therefore not considered to be highly flammable.
The moisture content was determined gravimetrically.
| Determination A | Determination B | |
| a) Mass of loss bottle (g) | 19.3537 | 20.6947 |
| b) Mass of loss bottle and test material (g) | 20.3989 | 21.6731 |
| c) Mass of loss bottle and test material after drying (g) | 20.3774 | 21.6529 |
| Moisture content (% w/w) | 2.057 | 2.065 |
| Mean moisture content (% w/w) | 2.06 |
|
The moisture content was calculated using the following equation:
Moisture Content (%) = (b - c) / (b - a) x 100
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test material has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
- Executive summary:
In a determination of hazardous physico-chemical properties study (Harlan project number: 0959/0225) the test material has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test. The pile failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.
The flammability (solids) was determined by measuring the burning rate of test material prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using Method A10 Flammability (Solids) of Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.
