Test No	Length (mm)	Burning time (s)	Comments
Preliminary screening test	200	10	The sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train
1	100	11	Propagating combustion <45 seconds that passes the wetted zone. Sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train
2	100	8	Propagating combustion <45 seconds that passes the wetted zone. Sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train
3	100	9	Propagating combustion <45 seconds that passes the wetted zone. Sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train
4	100	12	Propagating combustion <45 seconds that passes the wetted zone. Sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train
5	100	10	Propagating combustion <45 seconds that passes the wetted zone. Sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train
6	100	9	Propagating combustion <45 seconds that passes the wetted zone. Sample discoloured to black and ignited producing a medium size orange flame which propagated along the sample train

Interpretation of results:

Category 1 (flammable solids) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The sample propagated combustion in less than 45 seconds, passing the wetted zone. As such, according to table 2.7.1 of Annex I of CLP, the substance should be classified as a Category 1 flammable solid. The substance is also classified as highly flammable, Division 4.1, and assigned to Packing Group II for transport purposes.

Executive summary:

The burning rate of the sample was measured according to a method similar to that described in Method A.10 of the European Test Method Regulation (EC) 440/2008. The results of the main test showed that the sample burned over 100 mm, passing the wetted zone and the orange flame produced propagated along the sample train. This was observed in all six repetitions of the main test. Therefore, the substance fulfils the criteria for classification as a Category 1 flammable solid according to CLP/GHS. Additionally, it is classified as highly flammable, Division 4.1 and assigned Packing Group II for transport purposes.
