Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

Safety Pre-Test

The test substance carbonized and sparks were observed.

Preliminary Screening Test

In the preliminary screening test following the EU and the UN method, the test substance was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. The test substance carbonized slowly and sparks were observed. No sign of ignition within two minutes

Screening Test

A stop watch was held ready. The test substance was heated with the flame of a gas burner for two minutes.

Since ignition did not occur within two minutes, the test substance was classified as not highly flammable (for EU regulations) and non-flammable solid (for UN regulations), resp. No determination of burning rate was necessary.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Ignition did not occur within two minutes, the test substance was classified as not highly flammable (for EU regulations) and non-flammable solid (for UN regulations), resp.
No determination of burning rate was necessary.

Description of key information

Ignition did not occur within two minutes, the test substance was classified as not highly flammable (for EU regulations) and non-flammable solid (for UN regulations), resp.

No determination of burning rate was necessary.
