Results and discussion

Pyrophoric solids
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance melted when an ignition source (flame or hot wire) was applied at ambient temperature and did not burn.

The combustion behaviour of the product at ambient temperature is characterized by the burning index BZ 1 (no ignition).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
For the test item BZ 1 (no ignition) was determined. Therefore, the substance has not to be classified as flammable solid according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
