Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

Study was conducted on 3 June 2010

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: GLP compliant guideline study.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Remarks:

25 February 2009

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

Remarks:

or specified in description of method (migrated information)

Burning time:

> 240 s

Results of Preliminary Screening Test

Rate of burning (over 200 mm) : N/A

From the preliminary screening test the sample was seen to burn in a time > 4 minutes and therefore no further testing is required.

Comments: The sample briefly glowed red, no flames or propagation of this reaction was observed.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Ash is not flammable.

Executive summary:

Flammability of Ash was determined in a GLP laboratory using a fire train mould according to the Method A10 Flammability of Solids in Comission Regulation (EC) 440/2008. Even though ash glowed red, no flames or propagnation was observed during the study.

Description of key information

Flammability was determined in a GLP laboratory using a fire train mould according to the Method A10 Flammability of Solids in Comission Regulation (EC) 440/2008. Ash was found to be non flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

non flammable

Justification for classification or non-classification

Ash was not found to be flammable according to Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)) in Comission Regulation (EC) 440/2008. Thus, no classification is required.
