Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP Compliant, guideline study, available as unpublished report, acceptable without restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: The test item initially propagated combustion, the region of combustion travelled only 70mm in a time of 22 minutes 40 seconds before self-extinguishing.

Di-μ-chloro-bis(hapto-1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) initially propagated combustion, the region of combustion travelled only 70mm in a time of 22 minutes 40 seconds before self-extinguishing. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test. Combustion of a 200mm train of test item in a time of less than 2 minutes is required for a positive result for the test procedure. The test item is not classified as a readily combustible solid under Division 4.1.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Di-μ-chloro-bis(hapto-1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) initially propagated combustion, the region of combustion travelled only 70mm in a time of 22 minutes 40 seconds before self-extinguishing. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test. Combustion of a 200mm train of test item in a time of less than 2 minutes is required for a positive result for the test procedure. The test item is not classified as a readily combustible solid under Division 4.1.
Executive summary:

This is a GLP compliant, guideline study considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint.

Di-μ-chloro-bis(hapto-1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) initially propagated combustion, the region of combustion travelled only 70mm in a time of 22 minutes 40 seconds before self-extinguishing. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

Additional information

O'Connor and Woolley (2011) is a GLP compliant study following UN method N1 and is considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint.

Di-μ-chloro-bis(hapto-1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) initially propagated combustion, the region of combustion travelled only 70mm in a time of 22 minutes 40 seconds before self-extinguishing. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test. Combustion of a 200mm train of test item in a time of less than 2 minutes is required for a positive result for the test procedure. The test item is not classified as a readily combustible solid under Division 4.1.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on experimental data, di-μ-chloro-bis(hapto-1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) is not classified as a readily combustible solid under Division 4.1. Di-μ-chloro-bis(hapto-1,5-cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) initially propagated combustion, the region of combustion travelled only 70mm in a time of 22 minutes 40 seconds before self-extinguishing. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test. Combustion of a 200mm train of test item in a time of less than 2 minutes is required for a positive result for the test procedure.
