Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

26 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:

burn in contact with the flame but extinguished after 26 seconds

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

CLP regulation

Conclusions:

The substance is not flammable in accordance with CLP regulation (1272/2008, as amended).

Description of key information

In a GLP-compliant, EU method study it was determined that the substance was not highly flammable under the conditions of the test.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

In the reliable key study conducted in accordance with GLP using the EU A.10 method, it was determined that the substance is not highly flammable under the conditions of the test. It was also observed by handling the substance for the purpose of conducting experiments for regulatory requirements did not reveal the development of flammable gases in contact with water nor did the substance exhibit pyrophoric properties. Based on this evidence, classification under the CLP regulation (EU 1272/2008 ,as amended) is not warranted for these endpoints.
