Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: Short ignition and rapid extinction.
Remarks:
A preliminary test is therefore negative.

Preliminary test:
Burning (200-mm test section): Short ignition and rapid extinction. A preliminary test is therefore negative.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The preliminary test was negative due to short ignition and rapid extinction.
Executive summary:

The flammability of the test substance was tested in accordance with EU Method A.10. The test substance was melted at approximately 80°C and was shaped. After solidification, the test substance was measured by burning of a powder train approximately 250 mm long. The preliminary test was negative due to short ignition and rapid extinction; therefore, no further testing was required.

Description of key information

EU Method A.10

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The substance is not highly flammable.

The substance has no pyrophoric properties and does not liberate flammable gases in contact with water.

The substance is not a self-heating substance or mixture.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the test substance is not classified as flammable, a readily combustible solid, self-heating substance, substance which in contact with water emit flammable gases, pyrophoric liquid, pyrophoric solid, flammable gas or as aerosol in class 2.
