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

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over 200 mm.

Executive summary:

Flammability (Solids). Not highly flammable, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Endpoint:

pyrophoric solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Reference 3

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

Flammable solids:

The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over 200 mm.

Pyrophoric solids:

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

Substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases:

The study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

Flammable solids:

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.

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.7.2.1, this substance should not be classified as flammable solids.

Pyrophoric solids:

The substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days).

Therefore, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.10.4, the classification procedure for pyrophoric solids need not be applied.

Substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases:

The chemical structure of the substance or mixture does not contain metals or metalloids.

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.12.4.1(a), the classification procedure for this class need not be applied.
