Experimental Phase 09 July 2020 to 10 July 2020.
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study

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 pile melted but failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item has been determined not to be highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The flammability of the test substance was assessed using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Method

A preliminary test was conducted on the substance as follows: A mould (250 mm long x 20 mm wide x 10 mm high) was loosely filled with test item. A non-combustible, non-porous board was placed onto the mould which was then inverted. The mould was removed and an air-rich Bunsen burner flame applied to one end of the pile for two minutes.

Results

The pile melted but failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

Conclusion

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