Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2010
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning time (test type not further specified)
- Remarks:
- or specified in description of method (migrated information)
- Burning time:
- > 240 s
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results, the test substance can be considered as not flammable.
- Executive summary:
In a study conducted according to EU method A.10, the burning time of the pile in a preliminary test was > 4 minutes. Thus, it was not necessary to conduct a main test and the test item maleic anhydride can be considered as a not flammable solid.
Reference
Preliminary test: Burning time > 4 min, no metal powder. Therefore, the preliminary screening test is negative.
Main test: Omitted due to result of preliminary test.
Interpretation of the results: The test substance is not considered highly flammable.
Description of key information
In a study conducted according to EU method A.10, the burning time of the pile in a preliminary test was > 4 minutes. Thus, it was not necessary to conduct a main test and the test item maleic anhydride can be considered as a not flammable solid.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
