Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks:
or specified in description of method (migrated information)
Burning time:
> 5 min
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

Any other information on results incl. tables

In a preliminary screening test a piece of 5cm x 3cm x 2.5 cm was heated by the gas burner but could not be ignited (heating time 5 min). Based on the test results further testing was not necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Test carried out according to standard protocol, test results consistent, thus reliable for concluding on endpoint.
Executive summary:

In a standard test accoring to UN test N1, Indium cake was tested for flammability: in a preliminary screening test a piece of 5cm x 3cm x 2.5 cm was heated by the gas burner but could not be ignited (heating time 5 min). Based on the test results further testing was not necessary, and it is concluded that the substance is non-flammable.
