Any other information on results incl. tables

The test material ignited with a small blue flame and extinguished within a maximum of 8 seconds after the burner had been removed. There was no smouldering combustion and the damage to the powder strip was approx. 10 mm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fouth revised edition 2003, Part III §33 Classification procedures, test methods and criteria relating to class 4.
Conclusions:
The test material should not be classified as a flammable solid.
Executive summary:

Test was performed according to N.1: Test method for readily combustible solids.

The test material ignited with a small blue flame and extinguished within a maximum of 8 seconds after the burner had been removed. There was no smouldering combustion and the damage to the powder strip was approx. 10 mm.

As the test material does not burn or smoulder for more than 200 mm along the powder train within the 2 minute test period, the test material should not be classified as a flammable solid according Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria.
