Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

0 s

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

A preliminary screening test was performed on the test substance. Upon application of the flame, the test substance melted – no ignition occurred. The material was determined not to be highly flammable and no further testing was performed.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The material was determined not to be highly flammable and no further testing was performed.

Executive summary:

The test was performedbased on procedures presented in the Council of the European Communities, Method A.10,Flammability (Solids)(1).

A preliminary screening test was performed on the test substance. An unbroken line of the test substance measuring approximately 250 mm x 20 mm x 10 mm was prepared on a non-porous, non-combustible and low heat-conducting surface and the flame from a gas torch was applied to one end of the line for two minutes. The test substance melted and never ignited. The material was determined not to be highly flammable and no further testing was performed.

Description of key information

The material was determined not to be highly flammable and no further testing was performed.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The classification criteria in accordance with the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Powdered, granular or pasty substances or mixtures (except powders of metals or metal alloys) shall be classified as readily combustible solids when the time of burning of one or more of the test runs, performed in accordance with the test method described in Part III, sub-section 33.2.1, of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria, is less than 45 seconds or the rate of burning is more than 2.2 mm/s. As the test material did not ignite it was determined not to meet the criteria for classification and not highly flammable.
