Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Version / remarks:
(2008)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: UN no. ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5: Part III: Classification Procedures, Test Methods and Criteria Relating to Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Division 5.1, Class 8 and Class 9, Test N.1: “Test Method for Readily Combustible Solids” (2009)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identification FAT 40854/A TE
Description Reddish-brown powder (determined at NOTOX)
Batch TZ 5719 / BOP 02-11
Content 46.2 % (4 main constituents)
Test substance storage: At room temperature in the dark
Stability under storage conditions: Stable
Expiry date: 01 April 2016
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: No propagation of combustion of the test substance along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed.

The flame of the gas burner did ignite the test substance pile but no propagation of combustion of the test material was observed after removal of the ignition source.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 40854/A is not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study, the flammability of FAT 40854/A was determined according to EU method A.10 and UN N.1. The flame of the gas burner did ignite the test substance pile. The test substance glowed, emitted orange sparks, burned with an orange flame and turned into a black charred residue. After removal of the ignition source the flame extinguished after 3 seconds and kept glowing for 30 seconds. No propagation of combustion of the test substance along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Description of key information

The test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

In a GLP-compliant study, the flammability of FAT 40854/A was determined according to EU method A.10 and UN N.1. The flame of the gas burner did ignite the test substance pile. The test substance glowed, emitted orange sparks, burned with an orange flame and turned into a black charred residue. After removal of the ignition source the flame extinguished after 3 seconds and kept glowing for 30 seconds. No propagation of combustion of the test substance along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance is considered to be not highly flammable, hence it does not warrant classification according to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
