Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
02. Sept. 2016 - 29. May 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: 5-10-A
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 19. Oct. 2018
- Purity test date: 19. Oct. 2015

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: stored in a tightly closed vessel at 15.8 - 21.5 °C under dry conditions in the dark
- Stability under test conditions: assumed to be stable
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: n/a
- Reactivity of the test substance with the solvent/vehicle of the cell culture medium: assumed none

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
none
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
> 2 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:
Nomcort SG is considered as not highly flammable (for EU regulations) and non-flammable solid (for UN regulations).
Executive summary:

First, a safety test was performed. A small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner in order to derive safety precautions. The test item melted into a clear liquid, which burned with yellow flame. No residue was observed.

In the preliminary screening test following the EU method and UN method, the test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. The test item melted into a clear liquid. No ignition occurred within two miniutes.
