Results
The pile failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied.
The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the definitive test.
As a result of which the test item is not classified as a flammable/readily combustible solid.
Description of key information
non flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The substance did not ignite in the preliminary screening test in a GLP study similar to UN RTDG Test N.1.
Based on experience in handling and use and the chemical structure pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:
Based on experimental result the substance is a non flammable solid. It did not ignite in the preliminary screening test in a study similar to UN RTDG Test N.1. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected.
