Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

0

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

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The test item is not flammable under the conditions of this test. The test item did not ignite.

Executive summary:

The flammability of the test substance was investigated according to EU method A10.

The substance was formed into an unbroken strip/powder train in an aluminium base plate. A hot flame from a gas burner was applied to one end of the powder train for a maximum of 4 minutes. This was repeated in duplicate. The test material melted but did not ignite. Therefore, the substance is considered not to be flammable.

Description of key information

The test item is not flammable under the conditions of this test.  

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the flammability (pyrophoric properties and flammability on contact with water) studies (required in section 7.10 of Annex VII) do not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time and experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flammability of the test substance was investigated according to EU method A10.

The substance was formed into an unbroken strip/powder train in an aluminium base plate. A hot flame from a gas burner was applied to one end of the powder train for a maximum of 4 minutes. This was repeated in duplicate. The test material melted but did not ignite. Therefore, the substance is considered not to be flammable.
