Study period:

From September 28, 2001 to October 05, 2001

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

Key result

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

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the test substance was not readily combustible or highly flammable.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.10 in compliance with GLP.

The determination of flammability was carried out with the powdery test substance piled about 250 mm long by 20 mm wide by 10 mm high on a non-combustible and non-porous base plate. As ignition source, a flame was used to ignite the train at one end.

There was no ignition of the test substance within the 4 min test period in the preliminary study. Hence, the main study was not performed.

Under the study conditions, the test substance was not readily combustible or highly flammable.

Description of key information
