Reference 1

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From September 15, 2017 to December 18, 2017

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

comparable to guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

not specified

GLP compliance:

yes

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Moisture (wt %):

0.09

Remarks on result:

other: During the test, the test substance melted and briefly ignited with a small, orange flame when in contact with the ignition source.

Remarks:

On removal of the ignition source the flame extinguished, no propagation or smouldering along the test substance train was observed. As in the preliminary screening test the sample was seen to briefly ignite, the study author concluded that no further testing is required.

Interpretation of results:

other: not classified based on EU CLP criteria

Conclusions:

Under study conditions, the test substance was classified as not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability of the test substance, C16-18 AMP, according to EU Method A10, in compliance with GLP. During the test, the test substance melted and briefly ignited with a small, orange flame when in contact with the ignition source. On removal of the ignition source the flame extinguished, no propagation or smouldering along the test substance train was observed. As in the preliminary screening test the sample was seen to briefly ignite, the study author concluded that no further testing is required. Under study conditions, the test substance was classified as not highly flammable (Chilworth, 2017).

Reference 2

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

Reference 3

Endpoint:

pyrophoric solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

Flammability of the test substance was determined according to EU Method A.10 (Chilworth, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Additional information

Not highly flammable

Justification for classification or non-classification

In the preliminary test, the flames extinguished shortly after the gas burner was removed. There was no propagation along the powder train. As a negative result was obtained in the preliminary test, a definitive burning rate test was not required. Under study conditions, the test substance was considered to be not highly flammable and not classified based on EU CLP criteria (Regulation 1272/2008/EC).​
