Specific details on test material used for the study:

Test material identified as: FAT 20290/C TE
Lot: TCC/02/2014/CR/002

Key result

Test procedure:

other: Substance observed for ignition

Remarks on result:

substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

Findings:

Safety Pre-Test:

A small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner. Glowing was observed. The test item showed no signs of ignition.

Preliminary screening test:

The test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Glowing was observed during heating. No ignition occurred within two minutes.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 20290/C TE should be considered as not highly flammable

Executive summary:

Flammability of FAT 20290/C was evaluated in a study conducted according to EU Method A.10. In the preliminary screening test, the test substance arranged as 200 mm train was tested for ignition by heating with the flame of a teclu burner. Glowing was observed during heating. No ignition occurred within two minutes. Hence, FAT 20290/C is considered as not highly flammable.

Description of key information

FAT 20290/C TE is considered as not highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

non flammable

Additional information

Flammability of FAT 20290/C was evaluated in a study conducted according to EU Method A.10. In the preliminary screening test, the test substance arranged as 200 mm train was tested for ignition by heating with the flame of a teclu burner. Glowing was observed during heating. No ignition occurred within two minutes. Hence, FAT 20290/C is considered as not highly flammable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

FAT 20290/C TE is considered as not highly flammable based on the results of a flammability study, hence it does not warrant classification for flammability as per the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
