Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2009-10-05

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: GLP guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Screening test:

A stop watch was held ready. It was tried to ignite the test item with the flame of the teclu burner; the test item started to melt. Ignition with self-propagation flame did not occur within two minutes. Heating was continued for a period of four minutes (total). Since ignition did not occur, the test item was classified as not highly flammable, and no determination of burning rate was necessary.

Interpretation of results:

non flammable

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Teh test item Alcohols, C18-22, distn. residues was considered as not highly flammable, as no ignition occurred within four minutes.

Executive summary:

The flammability of Alcohols, C18 -22, distn. redsidues was tested according to EU-Method A.10 "Flammability (solids)", dated 31. May 2008.

It was tried to ignite the test item with the flame of the teclu burner; the test item started to melt. Ignition with self-propagation flame did not occur within two minutes. Heating was continued for a period of four minutes (total). Since ignition did not occur, the test item was classified as not highly flammable.
