ca. 14 min
Moisture (wt %):
4.68
Remarks on result:
other: The sample ignited with an orange/yellow flame which extinguished several times, slow propagation was observed.
Remarks:
Not highly flammable

Results

In priliminary test, the test substance was ignited with an orange/yellow flame which extinguished several times, and slow propagation was also observed. The burning time was determined to be 14 minutes. Based on the preliminary screening (S/T) test results, the author concluded that as test substance was found to burn in a time of > 4 minutes, no further testing was required.

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified based on EU CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was determined as not highly flammable.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability of the test substance, mono- and di- C16 PSE, K+ and H3PO4 (purity: 100%), according to the EU Method A.10, in compliance with GLP. In a preliminary test, the test sample ignited with an orange/yellow flame, which extinguished several times, and a slow propagation was observed. The burning time was determined to be 14 minutes, which was way above the limit of 4 mins. Therefore, the study author concluded that no further testing was required. Based on the study result, the test substance was considered as and not highly flammable (Chilworth, 2017).

Description of key information

The flammability of the test substance was determined, according to EU Method A.10 (Chilworth, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

In a preliminary test, the test sample ignited with an orange/yellow flame, which extinguished several times, and a slow propagation was observed. The burning time was determined to be 14 minutes, which was way above the limit of 4 mins. Therefore, the test substance was considered as not highly flammable and not classified based on EU CLP criteria (Regulation 1272/2008/EC).
