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

The test substance could not be ignited with a flame during the pretest (contact time of about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, the test material melted. After removal of the ignition source the test article solidified and a brown, hard incrustation resulted. Therefore, no main test could be performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the test substance is not “highly flammable” according to the criteria of the guideline.
