Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks:
or specified in description of method (migrated information)
Burning time:
60 s
Remarks on result:
other: The sample ignites with a small, yellow flame which extinguished after 60 seconds when the ignition source was removed. No propagation of this reaction was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material is not highly flammable, does not emit flammable gases in contact with water and is not pyrophoric.
Executive summary:

The flammability has been determined using EU method A.10 for solids. The sample ignites with a small, yellow flame which extinguished after 60 seconds when the ignition source was removed. No propagation of this reaction was observed.

It is concluded that the substance is not highly flammable.

The flammability in contact with water has been determined using EU method A.12. The test material does not generate any gas or spontaneously ignite in contact with water, and therefore does not generate flammable gases in contact with water and is non-hazardous.

The pyrophoric nature of the test material has been determined using EU method A.13. The test material did not ignite in six individual tests, and is therefore determined to be not pyrophoric.
