burning time (test type not further specified)

Remarks:

or specified in description of method (migrated information)

Burning time:

< 45 s

Any other information on results incl. tables

Due to the fact that the burning time was faster than 45 s, the test item is highly flammable in the

sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.1 0.

Due to the fact that the burning time was faster than 45 s and the flame passed the wetted zone, the

test item has to be classified as flammable solid, class 4.1, packing group II, of the

Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods I Manual of Tests and Criteria.

Due to the fact that the burning time was faster than 45 s and the flame passed the wetted zone, the

test item has to be classified as flammable solid, category 1, according to chapter 2.71 of the GHS

(CLP) regulations.
