Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
> 240 s
Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a preliminary assay, it was observed that the propagation time for combustion over 200 mm was superior to 240 s. No further testing was required.
The test item is not considered as highly flammable.
Executive summary:

A test to determine if the test item is a flammable solid has been carried out by following the EU method A.10.


The test item is formed into an mould powder train of 250 mm length, 20 mm width and 10 mm height on a low heat-conducting base plate. The powder train was ignited at one end with a micro burner (minimum diameter 5mm), ignition time of 2 minutes.


In a preliminary assay, it was observed, whether the combustion propagated over a distance of 200 mm within 4 minutes. If the time was longer than 4 minutes (240 s), no further testing was required according to guideline. It was observed that the propagation time was superior to 240 s. No further testing was required.


It has been concluded that the test item is not a highly flammable solid according to the CLP regulation.
