Results and discussion

Flammable solids

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Remarks on result:

other: The substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 4 minutes test period (According to the EC A.10 guideline)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Based on the results obtained, the test item is considered ‘not highly flammable’.

Executive summary:

The preliminary screening test was performed for the determination of the flammability of the test item. The test item was smeared into a column shape onto a non-combustible and non-porous plate. The test item column was 250 mm long with a width of 10 mm. A flame of a gas burner was applied to one end of the test item pile for 2 minutes.  The pile was visually interpreted for propagation of combustion either by burning with a flame or smouldering.  If applicable, the time of burning over a distance of 200 mm was measured after the pile had burned a distance of 50 mm. In contact with the flame of the gas burner the test item melted and turned into a yellow residue.  White smoke was observed.  After removal of the ignition source, no propagation of combustion of the test item was observed. No propagation of combustion of the test item 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 test item is considered ‘not highly flammable’.
