Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
16 November 2007 - 23 February 2008
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
34 min
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:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flame of a gas burner could ignite the test substance pile. The test substance burned with a yellow flame, developed smoke and turned into a grey/black ash residue. After removal of the ignition source, propagation of combustion by smouldering was observed. The burning time over a distance of 200 mm was 34 minutes and 19 seconds.

Because no burning with flame or smouldering over 200 mm within 4 minutes was observed, R507-2 is considered not highly flammable.
Executive summary:

The flame of a gas burner could ignite the test substance pile. The test substance burned with a yellow flame, developed smoke and turned into a grey/black ash residue. After removal of the ignition source, propagation of combustion by smouldering was observed. The burning time over a distance of 200 mm was 34 minutes and 19 seconds.

Because no burning with flame or smouldering over 200 mm within 4 minutes was observed, R507-2 is considered not highly flammable.
