Results and discussion

Flammable solids
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
Remarks:
During flame contact the substance melted, emitted yellow sparks and turned into a dark brown residue. Grey smoke was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is non-flammable
Executive summary:

The preliminary screening test was performed for the determination of the flammability of the substance. No propagation of combustion of the substance along 200 mm length of the pile within 4 minutes was observed. According to the guidelines, performance of the burning rate test is not required. Based on the results obtained, the substance is considered ‘not highly flammable’.
