- Executive summary:
The article was tested for flammability according to 'Test Methods for the Determination of the Safety Characteristic of Dust, VDI 2263, 1990: burning behavior' and according to DIN EN 45001. During the test, the article exhibited localized combustion with practically no spreading.
Therefore, the test article is considered as non-flammable.
Reference
Flammability (burning behaviour)
The combustibility of the product is rated in accordance with the course of reaction (Bz) and characterized as a class number. The applicable test temperature is added as index.
BZR: 3 (localized combustion or glowing with practically no spreading)
BZ100: 3 (localized combustion or glowing with practically no spreading)
Description of key information
Non flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The potential of the article to be flammable was tested according to 'Test Methods for the Determination of the Safety Characteristic of Dust, VDI 2263, 1990: burning behavior' and according to DIN EN 45001. During the test, the article exhibited localized combustion with practically no spreading.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The CLP (Regulation EC n. 1272/2008), Annex I, Part 2, subsection 2.7.1.1 gives the following definition:
"A flammable solid means a solid which is readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction.
Readily combustible solids are powdered, granular, or pasty substances or mixtures which are dangerous if they can be easily ignited by brief contact with an ignition source, such as a burning match, and if the flame spreads rapidly."
The test article does not meet the criteria for classification as a flammable solid, as demonstrated by the experiments.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
