Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 19 May 2016 to 12 July 2016
- Reliability:

- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- 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
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item was determined not to be a highly flammable solid as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
- Executive summary:
GUIDELINE
Flammability was investigated by measuring the burning rate of test item prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (30 May 2008).
RESULTS
The test item was determined not to be a highly flammable solid as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
Reference
PRELIMINARY SCREENING
- 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.
Description of key information
The test item was determined not to be a highly flammable solid as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test (EU Method A.10).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified

GUIDELINE
Flammability was investigated by measuring the burning rate of test item prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (30 May 2008).
RESULTS
The test item was determined not to be a highly flammable solid as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test item failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test and does not meet the criteria for classification as a flammable solid under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
