Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
23 February 2017 to 03 March 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
Version / remarks:
2015
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Storage conditions: Room temperature over silica gel in the dark
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
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

Preliminary screening test

The test material charred and glowed orange but failed to propagate combustion during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied.

The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the definitive test.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not highly flammable in accordance with EU criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was considered to be not highly flammable.
Executive summary:

The flammability of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline UN Test N.1 under GLP conditions.

A preliminary screening test was performed and the test material charred and glowed orange but failed to propagate combustion during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the definitive test.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Description of key information

Under the conditions of this study, the test material is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The flammability of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline UN Test N.1 under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

A preliminary screening test was performed and the test material charred and glowed orange but failed to propagate combustion during the 2 minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the definitive test.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to flammability.
