Flammable solids
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Burning time:
- 0 s
- Remarks on result:
- other: The test material melted and failed to ignite.
- Remarks:
- The results of the preliminary test obviated the need to perform the main test.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion in the preliminary screening test.
- Executive summary:
Introduction
The flammability of Trimethylolethane was determined by measuring the burning rate of test item prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Method
A mould (250 mm long x 20 mm wide x 10 mm high) was loosely filled with test item (tested as received). A non-combustible, non-porous board was placed onto the mould which was then inverted. The mould was removed and an air-rich Bunsen burner flame applied to one end of the pile until ignition occurred.
Results
The test item melted and failed to ignite. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.
Conclusion
The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion in the preliminary screening test.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
