Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Purity: 100%

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

In contact with the flame of the gas burner the test item melted and turned into a light brown residue. White smoke was observed. After removal of the ignition source, no propagation of combustion of the test item was observed.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item is considered not flammable.

Executive summary:

A preliminary screening test was performed for the determination of the flammability of the test item in accordance with method UN N.1.No propagation of combustion of the test item along 200 mm length of the pile within 2 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the test item isconsidered ‘not flammable’.
