Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results the test item does not need to be classified for flammability.
Executive summary:

Yeast extract powder had no ability to self-ignite:

- as simple layer, after filtering at 200 µm: self-ignition temperature > 400°C

- as suspended dust, after vacuum drying: self-ignition temperature > 500°C

Pressure was not indicated but since the systems did not seem to be closed, it was likely atmospheric pressure.
