- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Not reported
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- Deviations:
- not specified
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- 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
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Ruthenium powder is not highly flammable as it did not ignite and burn in the preliminary screening test.
- Executive summary:
This is a GLP- compliant study following EU method A10 and UN method N1. The study is adequate for assessment as the key study for this endpoint. Ruthenium powder is not highly flammable as it did not ignite and burn in the preliminary screening test.
Reference
Authors state ruthenium powder is considered not to be highly flammable
Description of key information
Ruthenium powder is not highly flammable as it did not ignite and burn in the preliminary screening test.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
Meinerling (2006) is a GLP- compliant study following EU method A10 and UN method N1. The study is adequate for assessment as the key study for this endpoint. Ruthenium powder is not highly flammable as it did not ignite and burn in the preliminary screening test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Ruthenium powder is not classified as a flammable solid as it did not ignite and burn in the preliminary screening test.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
