Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
> 120 s
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

Sample melted in the place of applying the flame of burner. Sample did not burn. Time of applying the flame of burner: 30, 60, 120 s. Result: NEGATIVE.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item is not flammable according to test A.10. criteria.
Executive summary:

The study of flammability was performed according to EU Method A.10, under GLP conditions. In the preliminary test, the propagation by burning with flame or smoldering was determined. The substance was formed into an unbroken strip or powder train about 250 mm long by 20 mm wide by 10 mm high on a non-combustible, non-porous and low heat-conducting base plate, and a hot flame was applied to one end of the powder train for up to 2 minutes. The flame did not spread to the rest of the train after ignition source application time of 30s, 60 s, 120 s. Since the results were negative, the substance was determined to be not highly flammable.

Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
The substance is not classified as flammable in contact with water based on the chemical structure and the experience in handling / use which shows that the substance does not react with water.
Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
Practical experience in manufacture and handling shows that the substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures.

Description of key information

Flammability: Key study. Method according to EU Method A.10, GLP study. Under test conditions, the test item is not flammable.

Flammability in contact with water: Data waiving (study scientifically not necessary): Based on experience, the substance is not regarded as flammable in contact with water.

Pyrophoricity: Data waiving (study scientifically not necessary): Based on experience, the substance is regarded as not pyrophoric.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The study of flammability was performed according to EU Method A.10, under GLP conditions. In the preliminary test, the propagation by burning with flame or smoldering was determined. The flame did not spread to the rest of the train after ignition source application time of 30s, 60 s, 120 s. Since the results were negative, the substance was determined to be not highly flammable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, the substance is not classified for flammability according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
