Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

21 july 2017 to 18 oct 2017

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The test is carried out according to EC Regulation No.440/2008 - Annex A.10. The substance is formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long and a preliminary screening test performed to determine if, on ignition by a flame, propagation by burning with flame or smouldering occurs. If propagation over 200 mm of the train occurs within a specified time then a full test programme to determine the burning rate is carried out.

GLP compliance:

no

Other quality assurance:

ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Chemical name: Glycerides, C12-C18 mono-, di- and tri
CAS No.: 91052-53-8
EC No. : 293-214-0
Appearance: a white solid without irritating odor
Resource: the test item was provided by the sponsor
Package: in a glass bottle, and in good conditions
Amount: 738g
Storage Conditions: stored at ambient temperature

Test procedure:

burning time over 250 mm for metal powders or metal alloys

Burning time:

ca. 2 min

Phenomena and results from two independent preliminary screening tests, were identical as following:

- the sample could be ignited within 2 min；

- after removal of ignition, the sample didn’t propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smoldering along 200 mm of the train within the 4 min.

It can be ascertained that the sample is not a highly flammable solid based on the results of the preliminary screening test.

Conclusions:

The sample is not a highly flammable solid.

Executive summary:

1.1 Study Title
