Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

March 16, 1998 - March 27, 1998

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Justification for type of information:

Study conducted under GLP and in a trusted laboratory.

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The substance in its delivery state was filled into a mould. The length of the triangular metal mould was 250 mm, the internal height 10 mm and the internal width 20 mm. The filled mould was dropped three times from a height of about 2 cm onto the tabletop of the fume hood, and the mould then topped off. The surface was levelled by scaping off excess product with a strip of sheet metal. A refractory ceramic plate was placed on the open surface of the packed solid, the unit rotated 180° and the mould stripped. A gas burner producing a temperature of greater than 1000°C was employed to ignite the packed solid.
The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame. No flame propagation was observed. No further testing was required.

GLP compliance:

yes

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Remarks on result:

other: The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame. No flame propagation was observed. No further testing was required.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item is classified as not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

Spirodiclofen Techn. is classified as not highly flammable when tested according to the EC A 10 gudeline method.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified
