Flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions

Justification for type of information:

Following guideline, but with reduced sample size in view of value of test material
A small sample size is more likely to give a positive response, but in the absence of any flammability, this was considered to be a valid result

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Following guideline, but with reduced sample size in view of value of test material
A small sample size is more likely to give a positive response, but in the absence of any flammability, this was considered to be a valid result

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Technical grade ca 99%

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Moisture (wt %):

1

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

Moisture content not measured, but purity of sample > 1%

Possible trace of water present

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance was not found to support combustion in the initial screening test as described in the Test Method section above. Since no propagation of the product train occurred within a time specified in the method, there was no need for conducting a full program including six additional burning rate tests to establish a precise burning rate for the test substance.
