Results and discussion
Flammable solids
- Test procedure:

- Burning time:
- < 0 min
- Remarks on result:
- other: No propagation of combustion of the test item along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Results
In contact with the flame of the gas burner the test item melted, and turned into a yellow residue. Grey smoke was observed. After removal of the ignition source, no propagation of combustion of the test item was observed.
Conclusion
The preliminary screening test was performed for the determination of the flammability of Ethyl Ascorbic acid.
No propagation of combustion of the test item along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the test item is considered ‘not highly flammable’.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
