Flammable solids
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
2 min

Any other information on results incl. tables

Only a preliminary test was conducted. The test item could not be ignited with a flame, the test item melted. A main test was therefore not necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item is not a highly flammable solid in the sense of the consolidated version of Council
Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V, Method A.10 (Council Directive 92/69/EEC).
Executive summary:

The flammability of DHA was investigated in an EU guideline A.10 compliant study.

In the preliminary test DHA could not be ignited with a flame, the test item melted. A main test was therefore not necessary.
