Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 11 December 2017 to 01 June 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
- 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
- Remarks:
- Calcium Isooctadecanoate was observed to burn at point of contact with the burner flame and then turn to ash. The burner flame was applied for 2 minutes and the flames extinguished upon removal of the burner. The flame did not propagate along the train
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item was found to not highly flammable in the preliminary test.The test item was observed to burn at point of contact with the burner flame and then turn to ash. The burner flame was applied for 2 minutes and the flames extinguished upon removal of the burner. The flame did not propagate along the train.
- Executive summary:
The flammability of the test item was investigated in an EC Method A.10 study. In the preliminary test, the test item was found to be not highly flammable and, therefore, a definitive test was not required.
The study is a GLP-compliant, guideline experimental study and is fully acceptable for assessment of this endpoint.

Description of key information
The test item is concluded to be not highly flammable (not classified based on GHS criteria) based on a preliminary test. The test item was observed to burn at point of contact with the burner flame and then turn to ash. The burner flame was applied for 2 minutes and the flames extinguished upon removal of the burner. The flame did not propagate along the train.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The flammability of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant EC Method A.10 study that is fully acceptable for assessment of this endpoint (Dunning 2018).
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test item is concluded to be not highly flammable (not classified based on GHS criteria) based on a preliminary test. The test item was observed to burn at point of contact with the burner flame and then turn to ash. The burner flame was applied for 2 minutes and the flames extinguished upon removal of the burner. The flame did not propagate along the train.
