Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

Experiment start and end date - 16 April 1999; Study completion date - 28 April 1999.

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Identity: FAT 40'574/B
Batch: WP 23/99
Purity: Approx. 75 %
Appearance: Solid, dark-red powder
Storage: At room temperature at about 20 °C
Expiration Date: 08 February 2006

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

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

The substance could not be ignited with a flame. In contact with the ignition source, a bright orange flame was observed. The test substance carbonized and became brittle. Therefore, no main test was performed.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is not considered to be flammable.

Executive summary:

The determination of the flammability of the test item was performed in accordance with the EEC Directive 92/69, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 10 "Flammability (solids)", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. FAT 40574/B could not be ignited with a flame during the pretest (contact time of about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, a bright, orange flame was observed which evolved no smoke or soot. FAT 40574/B carbonized and became brittle. Therefore, no main test was performed. In conclusion, FAT 40574/B is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the guideline.
