experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
14 March 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identity: Rubidium nitrate
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Storage conditions: Room temperature (15 to 25C), desiccated, dark
Batch number: 215091B002
Purity: 100%
Expiry date: September 2017

Key result
Test procedure:
burning time over 250 mm for metal powders or metal alloys
Burning time:
5 min
Moisture (wt %):
0
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:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item melted on application of the flame, but did not ignite. There was no propagation along the test pile. As there was no combustion in this preliminary test, rate testing was not necessary. The test substance was found not to be highly flammable.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to examine the flammability of the test substance. The study was conducted in accordance with accepted principles in order to meet the requirements of REACH Regulation (EU) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council and REACH Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (as amended) of 30 May 2008 (Method A.10). The test substance was found not to be highly flammable.

Description of key information

Flammability has been determined with the support of an external lab. Using the Method A.10, rubidium nitrate was found not to be highly flammable.
