Description of key information
In tests conducted according to UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids), Petrolatum samples were found to be not flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The samples melted, but no ignition or propagation was observed in any sample.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The Petrolatum samples did not propagate burning over 200mm.
Based on the combustion propagation of less than 200 mm in 4 minutes, classification of Petrolatums as flammable is not warranted in accordance with the EU CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008).
