Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
June 25th, 2001
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:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Test procedure:
burning time over 250 mm for metal powders or metal alloys
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Remarks:
According to results of preliminary test, burning time test was not performed

Test item could not be ignited with a flame during a preliminary test (contact time about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, test item melted and a colourless melt remained. No flame was observed.

Therefore no main test was performed

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is not flammable according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

A study according to EU method A.10 for flammable solids was perfomed.

Test item could not be ignited with a flame during a preliminary test (contact time about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, test item melted and a colourless melt remained. No flame was observed.

Therefore no main test was performed and the substance can be considered not flammable.

Description of key information

In a study according to EU method A.10 for flammable solids, the substance didn't ignite in the presence of an ignition source (preliminary test). Therefore, no main study was performed.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

In a study according to EU method A.10 for flammable solids, the substance didn't ignite in the presence of an ignition source (preliminary test). Therefore, the substance is not flammable according to CLP criteria.
