Test Results for Porcelain Cup Test:

Test Number     Ignition or No ignition     Observations

        1                       No ignition                No reaction

        2                       No ignition                No reaction

        3                       No ignition                No reaction

        4                       No ignition                No reaction

        5                       No ignition                No reaction

        6                       No ignition                No reaction

 

Test Results for Filter Paper Test:

Test Number Ignition or No ignition Charring or No charring Observations

        1               No ignition                         No charring        No reaction

        2               No ignition                         No charring        No reaction

        3               No ignition                         No charring        No reaction

No ignition or charring was observed during any test. The sample is therefore ‘Not a pyrophoric liquid’.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information No ignition or charring was observed during any test. The sample is therefore ‘Not a pyrophoric liquid’.
