Any other information on results incl. tables

In the vicinity of the heat source in the high-temperature zone the substance was melted not on the entire surface. White smoke formed during melting. The melted surface was burning with a large flame next to the heat source. After removing the heat source the combustion disappeared immediately.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information After removing the heat source the combustion disappeared immediately.
Conclusions:
The substance (levodione) should not be considered as flammable und no further testing is required. According to the GHS criteria the measured substance cannot be classified.
