Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks:
or specified in description of method (migrated information)
Remarks on result:
other: No propagation of combustion along 200 mm length of the powder train within 4 minutes was observed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The flame of the gas burner did ignite the test substance pile. The test substance melted, glowed, burned with a yellow flame and turned into a black residue. Grey smoke was observed. After removal of the ignition source, the flame extinguished after 1 second and no propagation of combustion was observed. 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: 'not highly flammable' by ignition
Conclusions:
In a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with UN-MTC Section 33.2.1 (Test N.1) and EC.A10, the substance has been determined to be 'not highly flammable' by ignition.
