Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

6 October 2015 to 12 November 2015

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

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The test item was formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long. A preliminary screening test should be performed to determine if, on ignition by a gas flame, propagation by burning with flame or smoldering occurs. If propagation over 200 mm of the train occurs within a specified time, then a full test program to determine the burning rate was carried out.

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Test material identified as: FAT 40444/B TE
- Source and lot No.of test material: PCR92X140707(China)

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

Findings:

Safety Pre-Test:

A small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner. Glowing was observed. The test item showed no signs of ignition.

Preliminary screening test:

The test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Glowing was observed during heating. No ignition occurred within two minutes.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 40444/B TE should be considered as "not highly flammable".

Executive summary:

Flammability of FAT 40444/B was evaluated in a study conducted according to EU Method A.10. The test item was formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long. A preliminary screening test was performed to determine if, on ignition by a gas flame, propagation by burning with flame or smoldering occurs. If propagation over 200 mm of the train occurs within a specified time, then a full test program to determine the burning rate was to be carried out. Observations for the preliminary screening test included glowing during heating, but no ignition occurred within two minutes. Hence full study was not performed. Based on these findings, the test substance should be considered as "not highly flammable".

Description of key information

No ignition was observed throughout the course of the test. Hence, Disperse Red 092 should be considered as "not highly flammable".

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

non flammable

Additional information

Flammability of Disperse Red 092 was evaluated in a study conducted according to EU Method A.10. The test item was formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long. A preliminary screening test was performed to determine if, on ignition by a gas flame, propagation by burning with flame or smoldering occurs. If propagation over 200 mm of the train occurs within a specified time, then a full test program to determine the burning rate was to be carried out. Observations for the preliminary screening test included glowing during heating, but no ignition occurred within two minutes. Hence, a full study was not performed. Based on these findings, the test substance should be considered as "not highly flammable".

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the Disperse Red 092 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.
