Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks:
or specified in description of method (migrated information)
Remarks on result:
other: Failed to ignite in the preliminary test.

Any other information on results incl. tables

A glowing was observed in the presence of the ignition flame, however the substance did not ignite. According to the guideline, further testing was not required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A preliminary screening test failed to ignite the sample. Copper (I) sulphide is therefore not considered to be flammable.
