Referenceopen allclose all
The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame. The test substance burned for a short time. The reaction ended within the start segment. No flame propagation was observed.
Stage 1:
The test substance was added to a dish containing distilled water. No liberation of gas could be observed. Attempts to ignite the gas phase above the dish with the flame of a burner produced negative results.
Stage 2:
The test substance was introduced to a filter paper floating on the surface of the distilled water contained in a dish. No liberation of gas could be observed. Attempts to ignite the gas phase above the filter paper produced negative results.
Stage 3:
A few drops of water were added to a sample of the test substance. No liberation of reaction gasses could be observed. Attempts to ignite the gaseous phase produced negative results.
Stage 4:
Water (approx. 20 mL) was added from a dropping funnel to 10 g samples of test substance. Three trials were performed. Test sample weight: 10 g (trials 1 -3).
Results (total quantities of liberated gas in L/kg h, total time 420 min):
Trial 1: 0.1 at t = 60 min; 0 afterwards
Trial 2: 0 over the whole period
Trial 3: 0.1 at t = 60 min; 0 afterwards
The gas production based on one kilogram of test substance and a one hour test period was considerably less than 1 L/kg h in all trials.
The test item does not liberate gases in hazardous amounts in case of contact with water or humid air when tested according to this procedure.
The test item exhibits no pyrophoric properties at ambient temperature in the sense of Test Procedure EC A.13.
No exothermic processes were recorded. A further test was not
necessary.
Description of key information
non-flammable on ignition
non-pyrophoric
does not liberate gases in hazardous amounts on contact with water
not self-heating
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The substance is non-flammable on ignition on the basis of the outcome of the EU A.10 test. It is non-pyrophoric based on the outcome of the EU A.13 test. The substance does not liberate hazardous amounts of gases on contact with water (EU A.12 test). The result of the self-heating Bowes-Cameron-Cage test (according to UN N.4) is negative.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: it was experimentally proven that the substance was non-flammable on ignition (EU Method A.10), did not liberate hazardous amounts of gases on contact with water (EU Method A.12) and it was non-pyrophoric (EU Method A.13). The substance is not self-heating according to the outcome of the test according to UN N.4.
