Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

not specified

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

4 min

Observation: No ignition or burning of the solid was observed. Hence, the powder should not be classified as a readily combustible solid according to Division 4.1 of the UN regulations for transportation of dangerous goods.

Interpretation of results:

other: CLP criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the test substance is not considered to be highly flammable.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.10. A sample of the test substance (as received) was examined for the auto ignition temperature by the ASTM E-659 method and using equipment designed by the Hazards Lab according to ASTM E-659 specifications. The test was run to approximately 5°C level of accuracy. No ignition or burning of the solid was observed. Hence, the test substance is not considered to be highly flammable (Martens, 2017).

Description of key information

The flammability was determined according to EU Method A.10 (Martens, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

Under the study conditions, no ignition or burning of the solid was observed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the absence of ignition or burning, the test substance is not considered to require classification for flammability according to EU CLP (EC 1272/2008) criteria.
