yes (incl. QA statement)

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Remarks on result:

other: During ignition with a flame the test item showed a short flame up without propagation of the flame. The test item melted.

During ignition with a flame the test item showed a short flame up without propagation of the flame. The test item melted.

A main test was therefore not necessary.

Interpretation of results:

other: EU GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item is not a highly flammable solid.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test item was tested according to EU Method A.10 (in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V) in a GLP study. It was found in the preliminary test, that during ignition with a flame the test item showed a short flame up without propagation of the flame. The test item melted. The test item is not a highly flammable solid in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V, Method A. 10.

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Interpretation of results:

other: EU GHS criteria not met

Description of key information

Flammability:

The flammability of the test item was tested according to EU Method A.10 (in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V) in a GLP study. It was found in the preliminary test, that during ignition with a flame the test item showed a short flame up without propagation of the flame. The test item melted. The test item is not a highly flammable solid in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V, Method A. 10.

Flammability, contact with water:

The study is scientifically not necessary, because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids. Also the test material does not contain structural components associated with flammability on contact with water mentioned in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, chapter R.7.1.10.3, page 123. Therefore, it can be concluded that the test material exhibit no risk for flammability on contact with water.

Flammability, pyrophoric solids:

The study is scientifically not necessary, because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and the test material does not contain structural components associated with pyrophoricity mentioned in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, chapter R.7.1.10.3, page 123. Therefore, it can be concluded that the test material exhibit no risk for pyrophoricity.

Flammability, self-heating substances:

The study is scientifically not necessary, because the substance is completely molten at 160 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

With ignition with a flame the test item showed a short flame up without propagation of the flame. The test item melted. A main test was therefore not necessary.

The test item is not a highly flammable solid in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V, Method A. 10.

Based on the physical state, the structural elements and the melting point the substance has not to be classified as flammable in contact with water, nor as pyrophoric solid, nor as self-heating substance.
