1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Name: 28723 - Ca-Gluconate
- Aggregate state at room temperature: solid
- Colour: white
- Expiry Date: March 27, 2018
- Storage conditions at test facility: at 20 °C ± 5 °C, in the dark

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

The test item could not be ignited and no smouldering was observed. At the end of the measurement the test item was black and the volume of the test item has increased. Therefore, the test item is considered to be not flammable.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.

Executive summary:

A study was carried out according to EU Method A.10 Flammability (Solids). The test item could not be ignited and no smouldering was observed. At the end of the measurement the test item was black and the volume of the test item has increased. Therefore, the test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.

Description of key information

Flammability

A study was carried out according to EU Method A.10 Flammability (Solids). The test item could not be ignited and no smouldering was observed. At the end of the measurement the test item was black and the volume of the test item has increased. Therefore, the test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.

Flammability - pyrophoric properties

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 and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

Flammability - contact with water

The study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

non flammable

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available the substance is not classified and labeled according to Regulation 1272/2008/EEC (CLP). The substance is considered non-flammable. No further testing is needed.
