Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2009
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Assay performed by a renowned american company, officially recognized by legal and governmental authorities (including DOT), to perform these studies according to UN regulations. Also the substance did not ignite, therefore the burning rate test was not performed.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: UN N.1
Deviations:
not specified
Remarks:
very basic reporting of data
Principles of method if other than guideline:
UNECE - UN Manual of tests and criteria (fifth revised edition), test N.1: test method for readily combustible solids
the burning rate test is not realized if the substance does not ignite in the preliminary screening test
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
not required
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks:
or specified in description of method (migrated information)
Burning time:
> 120 s
Remarks on result:
other: preliminary screening test
Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
the sample would not sustain a flame when ignited with a hand torch
Executive summary:

UN Test N.1: test method for readily combustible solids: the sample would not sustain a flame when ignited with a hand torch

Description of key information

The study was performed according to UN Manual of tests and criteria (fifth revised edition), test N.1: test method for readily combustible solids. The ability of the substance to propagate combustion was tested with a preliminary screening test. The substance was not ignited so the burning rate test was not realized. According to UN Test N.1, test method for readily combustible solids: the sample would not sustain a flame when ignited with a hand torch. The substance is then non flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the sample would not sustain a flame when ignited with a hand torch, according to the 1272/2008 (CLP) regulation, CuGUN is a non flammable substance.
