- yes
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Source: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering (Paulsborro, NJ)
Lot: 17-064163-4
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 20 March 2019
-Purity test date: 25 September 2017
Appearance: Light grey powder
Storage conditions: Room temperature, keep container tightly closed - Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Burning time:
- 270 s
- Remarks on result:
- other: The test item could be ignited but the flame extinguished after a burning distance of 90 mm (270 sec.)
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item Lithium salicylate could be ignited but the flame extinguished after a burning distance of 90 mm with a burning time of 270sec. Due to this result the preliminary test was negative. Therefore, the performance of the main test was not necessary.
- Executive summary:
Lithium Salicylate is not classified as readily combustible solid in Class 4, Division 4.1 according to the UN Transport Regulation nor as flammable solid according to GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.7.

Description of key information
The test item Lithium salicylate could be ignited but the flame extinguished after a burning distance of 90 mm with a burning time of 270 sec.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Since the study was GLP compliant and followed the aforementioned guidelines, the study was given a reliability rating of 1 (reliable without restrictions).
Justification for classification or non-classification
In the preliminary test the test item burned at ambient temperature over a burning time of 270 sec a burning distance of 90 mm before the flame extinguished. Therefore, the limit for classification according to the UN Transport Regulation and GHS (CLP Regulation EC1272/2008 Annex 1; 2.7)) or Regulation EC440/2008 (2 min (120 s) or 4 min (240 s)), respectively, was exceeded. The test item is not classified as readily combustible solid in Class 4, Division 4.1 according to the UN Transport Regulation nor as flammable solid according to GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.7.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
