Findings

Safety Pre-Test

It was observed, that the test item melted to a clear, colourless liquid. The liquid burns with an orange flame leaving no residue.

 

Preliminary Screening Test

It was observed, that the test item melted to a clear, colourless liquid. After heating a slightly yellow-brown liquid residue remained. No signs of ignition occurred within two minutes.

 

Results and Discussion

No ignition was observed throughout the course of the test.

The test item should be considered as not highly flammable (for EU regulations) and as non-flammable solid (for UN regulations).

No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome.
