Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
13 March 2017 - 18 July 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Test procedure:
burning time over 250 mm for metal powders or metal alloys
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

The test substance slowly smoldered, with a sulfurous burning smell and a glowing red ~4-mm spot, but did not propagate burning along 200 mm of the powder strip within a four-minute test period. The test substance was therefore not considered highly flammable. The test material was determined to not be highly flammable.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance slowly smoldered, with a sulfurous burning smell and a glowing red ~4-mm spot, but did not propagate burning along 200 mm of the powder strip within a four-minute test period. The test substance was therefore not considered highly flammable. The test material was determined to not be highly flammable.
Executive summary:

The flammability of the test substance was determined using EU Guideline Method A.10. The test substance slowly smoldered, with a sulfurous burning smell and a glowing red ~4-mm spot, but did not propagate burning along 200 mm of the powder strip within a four-minute test period. The test substance was therefore not considered highly flammable. The test material was determined to not be highly flammable.

Description of key information

The test substance slowly smoldered, with a sulfurous burning smell and a glowing red ~4-mm spot, but did not propagate burning along 200 mm of the powder strip within a four-minute test period. The test substance was therefore not considered highly flammable. The test material was determined to not be highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the test material failed to propogate the entire powder strip during the test, and as the tets material is known not to cause a hazard when exposed to air or water, the test material is therefore not classified in accordance with Regulation EC 1272/2008.
