Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
10 May 2018
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
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
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 was observed to ignite after 9 seconds of application of the burner flame. The flame propagated along 200 mm of the train in a total of 5 minutes and 53 seconds. The middle of the train did re-ignite at the end of the test, but spontaneously extinguished after approximately 1 minute. As this was longer than the limit of 4 minutes, the test item was not considered to be highly flammable. No further testing was necessary.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test was determined to be not highly flammable.
Executive summary:

The flammability of the test item was determined in an EU Method A.10 guideline study. The test item was determined to be not highly flammable.

The test item was observed to ignite after 9 seconds of application of the burner flame. The flame propagated along 200 mm of the train in a total of 5 minutes and 53 seconds. The middle of the train did re-ignite at the end of the test, but spontaneously extinguished after approximately 1 minute. As this was longer than the limit of 4 minutes, the test item was not considered to be highly flammable.

The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is fully acceptable for this endpoint.

Description of key information

The test item was not highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The flammability of the test item was investigated in an EC Method A.10 study. The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is fully acceptable for assessment of this endpoint (Dunning 2018).

The test item was not highly flammable in a preliminary test.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of a GLP-compliant study following a standard test guideline, the substance does not require classification as a flammable solid.
