Results and discussion
Flammable solids
- Test procedure:
- burning time (test type not further specified)
- Remarks:
- or specified in description of method (migrated information)
- Burning time:
- 505 s
- Remarks on result:
- other: Combustion was propagated over 200mm in 8 minutes 25 seconds.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The ‘rope’ melted and ignited with an orange flame which produced grey smoke and soot and left black charred remains. Combustion was propagated over 200mm in 8 minutes 25 seconds.
The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not highly flammable.
- Conclusions:
- The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over the 200 mm of the preliminary screening test in under 4 minutes.
- Executive summary:
Method
The flammability (solids) was determined by measuring the burning rate of test item prepared as a ‘rope’ of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Results
The ‘rope’ melted and ignited with an orange flame which produced grey smoke and soot and left black charred remains. Combustion was propagated over 200mm in 8 minutes 25 seconds.
The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.
The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over the 200 mm of the preliminary screening test in under 4 minutes.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
