Results and discussion

Flammable solids
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

Any other information on results incl. tables

In contact with the flame of the gas burner the test substance melted, emitted yellow sparks and turned into a yellow residue. Grey smoke was observed. After removal of the ignition source, no propagation of combustion of the test substance was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The preliminary screening test was performed for the determination of the flammability of Lithium Bis(fluorosulfonyl)Imide.

No propagation of combustion of the test substance along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based
on the results obtained, the test substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.
Executive summary:

Based on the flammability test, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide is classified as 'not highly flammable' in accordance with CLP flammable solids criteria. The test was designed in line with Method A10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids), 2009.
