Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

From the preliminary screening test the sample was seen not to propagate therefore no further testing is required.

Classification of substance: Not highly flammable.

Conclusions:
The substance is not a highly flammable solid in the sense of the EC Regulation No 440/2008, Method A.10.
Executive summary:

According to EU Method A.10 criteria, the substance was reported to be non-highly flammable, with no propagation during preliminary test. The flammability of ferrous gluconate was analysed in a reliable study (Baldwin 2014, Flammability Testing on a Sample of Ferrous Gluconate) conducted according to GLP and EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)).
