18 Jul - 29 Jul 2005

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study without detailed documentation

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Key result

Test procedure:

step 1

step 2

step 3

step 4

other:

Two test runs were carried out, each with a substance initial weight of 10.0 g. The total gas evolution rate was measured for the first time after 60 minutes. The measurements were carried out in steps of 60 minutes up to 420 minutes.

In both test runs, no gases (0 L/kg h) were released in hazardous quantities.

 

Validity criteria for the measurement of the oxidising properties:

The study was performed according to test procedure A.12. However, a details of the results are not stated. Thus, the values obtained by this study may be considered as being valid with restrictions.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The substance does not liberate gases in hazardous amounts.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the substance which in contact with water emit flammable gases. The study was conducted in accordance with EEC Method for "determination of the substance which in contact with water emit flammable gases", Directive 92/69/EEC, method A.12. The substance does not liberate gases in hazardous amounts.

Key result

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

Remarks on result:

other: The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame. The substance did not burn down or burn up.

Validity criteria for the measurement of the oxidising properties:

The study was performed according to test procedure A. 10. However, a details of the results are not stated. Thus, the values obtained by this study may be considered as being valid with restrictions.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test substance is not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the flammability (solids). The study was conducted in accordance with EEC Method for "determination of the flammability for solids", Directive 92/69/EEC, method A.10. The test substance is not highly flammable.

Description of key information

Flammability: not flammable solid
Remark: The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame and did not burn down or burn up.

Contact with water: The test substance does not liberate gases in hazardous amounts.

Pyrophoric properties: The substance did not deliver indications of pyrophoric properties during the realization of tests as defined in the guidelines (Directive 92/69/EEC, method A.10 and A.12).

As a conclusion this study was omitted.

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the substances melted while approaching with an ignition flame and it does not have pyrophoric properties nor a reaction with water is expectable, it can be concluded that a classification as flammable is unjustified.
