Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

18 Jan-28 Jun 1991

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Remarks:

Also according to GLP

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Version / remarks:

1984

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The flammability is determined using a test mould an ignition source.

GLP compliance:

yes

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Remarks on result:

substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

The test substance smoked then melted to a brown liquid, but failed to ignite on each test.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item is not a flammable solid.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test item was investigated according to the EC A.10 method in compliance with GLP. The preliminary screening test did not show any propagation of combustion of the test substance along 200 mm length of the pile. Performance of the definitive burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Reference 2

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

18 Jan-28 Jun 1991

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Remarks:

Also according to GLP

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))

GLP compliance:

yes

Identity of evolved gas:

not applicable as no gas evolved

Remarks on result:

no reaction with water observed

Test substance did not evolve gas in any of the tests.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test material does not emit flammable gases when in contact with water.

Executive summary:

The flammability on contact with water of the test item was investigated according to the EC A.12 method in compliance with GLP. The test show no emission of gas at all steps. Therefore, the test item is not considered as flammable when in contact with water.

Reference 3

Endpoint:

pyrophoric solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

18 Jan-28 Jun 1991

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Remarks:

Also according to GLP

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)

GLP compliance:

yes

Test procedure:

ignition time on contact with air

Remarks on result:

no ignition within 5 minutes

Test temperature: 20 °C.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item did not ignite on contact with air.

Executive summary:

The flammability on contact with air of the test item was investigated according to the EC A.13 method in compliance with GLP. No ignition was noted in the six experiments. Therefore, the test item is not considered as flammable when in contact with air.

Description of key information

non flammable on ignition
no flammability on contact with water
no pyrophoric properties

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

The substance is non flammable on ignition as determined in the test according to EEC Method A.10 (1984). The substance does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water as determined in the test according to EEC Method A.12 (1984). Pyrophoric properties can be excluded on the basis of the outcome of the test according to EEC Method A.13 (1984).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:

No propagation of burning in a test according to EEC Method A.10 (1984).

The substance does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water (EEC Method A.12, 1984).

The substance is non-pyrophoric (EEC Method A.13, 1984).
