experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2008

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

GLP compliance:

yes

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Batch no. 0703001
Production date 30.10.2007
Expiry date 30.10.2008

Test procedure:

burning time over 250 mm for metal powders or metal alloys

Remarks on result:

substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

Conclusions:

The test item should be considered as not highly inflammable as no combustion with flame of the test item could be observed.
No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome.

Executive summary:

Only the screening test was performed. The test item was formed to a powder train and ignition attempts were made with the flame of a teclu burner. Melting and ignition of the melted test item were observed. When the teclu burner was shortly removed from the powder, the flame died. No combustion of the test item could be observed.

Therefore, the test item should be considered as not highly flammable.
