Description of key information
Magnesium carbonate is not classified as a readily combustible solid.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The key study for determination of the flammability of magnesium carbonate is a GLP study performed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, using Method N.1 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, 4th revised edition, 2003 (Harlan Laboratories Ltd, 2010). Magnesium carbonate failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test. This demonstrated that magnesium carbonate is not flammable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Magnesium carbonate is not classified as a readily combustible solid under Division 4.1 as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
