Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 14 March 2017
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- Version / remarks:
- 31.5.2008
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning time over 250 mm for metal powders or metal alloys
- Burning time:
- ca. 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
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Cesium fluoride was found not to be highly flammable
- Executive summary:
The flammability (solids) of the test substance was determined using a test mould and an ignition source according to EC Method A.10 (Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Official Journal No. L 142, 31.5.2008) and in compliance with GLP. 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. Conclusion was Cesium fluoride was found not to be highly flammable.
