Any other information on results incl. tables

Results

The pile ignited and burnt with a yellow flame which produced grey smoke and left a black charred residue. Combustion was propagated over 200 mm in 6 minutes, 15 seconds.

 

The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not highly flammable

Conclusions:

The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over the 200 mm of the preliminary screening test in under 4 minutes.

Executive summary:

The flammability (solids) was determined 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 A10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
