key study
Study period:
Experimental period: 2017-01-26
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
Version / remarks:
revision 6, 2015
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test item: Reaction mass of copper oxide and manganese dioxide
Batch No.: #6098; #6116; #6118; #6123; #6139 (mixture of five batches, homogenised)
Content: 70.26 % Manganese dioxide, 22.16 % Copper oxide

Storage conditions: Ambient temperature (10 °C to 30 °C)
Expiry date: August 17, 2021
Certificate: Certificate of analysis dated March 07, 2017 from MSA, Berlin, Germany

The test item was tested as received. No further preliminary treatment such as drying or milling was performed.
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

UN N.1 -Test on flammability of solids:

 Preliminary test:

The test item could not be ignited with a flame. The performance of the main test was not necessary.

Supplemental explanation: The test item is an inorganic metal oxide. Therefore the test item is not to be assessed and tested as metal.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
No classification requirements exist for the submission substance with regard to propertiy flammable solids.
Executive summary:

The submission substance was tested for flammability of solids according to UN test-method N.1 (UN Manual of Test and Criterita, revision 6, 2015) compliant to GLP.

In the preliminary test, the test item could not be ignited with a flame. In consequence, the performance of the main test was not necessary.

In conclusion, the test item is not a readily combustible solid in the sense of UN Manual of Test and Criteria, Method N.1.

The test item is not a flammable solid according to chapter 2.7 of the GHS (CLP) regulations (1).

(1) Chapter 2.7 of the UN Globally harmonised system of classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS), 6th revised edition, 2015 (UN GHS) and also chapter 2.7 in the CLP regulation 1272/2008 (EU GHS).

Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
Endpoint:
self-heating substances / mixtures
Data waiving:
other justification
Justification for data waiving:

Description of key information

No classification requirements exist for the submission substance with regard to any of the following properties:

- flammable solids (UN-test N1; RL1; 2017)

- pyrophoric solids

- self-heating substances / mixtures

- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The submission substance was tested for flammability of solids according to UN test-method N.1 (UN Manual of Test and Criteria, revision 6, 2015) compliant to GLP.

In the preliminary test, the test item could not be ignited with a flame. In consequence, the performance of the main test was not necessary.

In conclusion, the test item is not a readily combustible solid in the sense of UN Manual of Test and Criteria, Method N.1.

The test item is not a flammable solid according to chapter 2.7 of the GHS (CLP) regulations (1).

Further, experience from the handling and use of the substance allows to exclude pyrophoric properties (according to CLP Regulation, Annex 1, Part 2, section 2.10.4.1) as well as reaction with water to emit flammable gases (according to CLP Regulation, Annex I, part 2, section 2.12.4).

From the results of a screening test (Grever-oven test), self-heating properties can be excluded.

Overall conclusion with regard to classification and labelling:

No classification requirements exist for the submission substance with regard to any of the following properties:

- flammable solids

- pyrophoric solids

- self-heating substances / mixtures

- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The submission substance was tested for flammability of solids according to UN test-method N.1 (UN Manual of Test and Criterita, revision 6, 2015) compliant to GLP.

In the preliminary test, the test item could not be ignited with a flame. In consequence, the performance of the main test was not necessary.

From the results of a screening test (Grever-oven test), self-heating properties can be exluded.

Overall conclusion with regard to classification and labelling:

No classification requirements exist for the submission substance with regard to any of the following properties:

- flammable solids

- pyrophoric solids

- self-heating substances / mixtures

- substances / mixtures which in contace with water emit flammable gases.
