Specific details on test material used for the study:

Identification : MALTITOL
CAS No. : 585-88-6
EC No. : 209-567-0
Batch ELEL7
Appearance White powder

Key result

Relative self-ignition temperature:

> 140 °C

Remarks on result:

no self ignition observed under the test conditions

The edge length of the cubic sample container was 100 mm.

The internal temperature in the oven was 140 °C (corrected value).

The temperature of the test item was recorded at 140 °C (corrected value).

At the start of the test, the test item was white powder. At the end, the test item remained a white powder.

Conclusions:

Maltitol was not classified in Division 4.2 and thus was not assigned to any packing group, under the experimental conditions used. According to EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP), the test item was not classified.

Executive summary:

Maltitol auto-flammbility was assessed according to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria - Sixth revised edition (2015) Method N.4 (Part III, Section 33.3.1.6), and in compliance with the GLP.

The container containing the tested substance (100 mm cube sample) is housed in the cover and hung at the centre of the oven. The oven temperature should be raised to 140 °C and kept there for 24 hours. No self ignition of the test item was recorded and the temperature of the sample did not exceed the oven temperature by 60 °C.

The test item was not classified in Division 4.2 and thus was not assigned to any packing group, under the experimental conditions used.

According to EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP), the test item was not classified as auto-flammable.

The auto-flammability study is classified as acceptable, and satisfies the guideline requirements of the Manual of tests and Criteria Sixth revised edition (2015), Method N.4 (Part III, Section 33.3.1.6).
