Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
16 Apr 2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
GLP compliance:
no
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: no ignition by a hot flame from a gas burner.

Preliminary test:

The substance does not ignite by a hot flame from a gas burner. The test item just melts.

According to the definition in the Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.10, the test item is not considered as flammable.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
14-17 Feb 2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
GLP compliance:
no

Step 1: no gas generation

Step 2: no gas generation

Step 3: no gas generation

Step 4: no gas generation

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
on contact with water, no gases liberated
Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
6 Jun 2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids)
GLP compliance:
no
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)

The test item did not ignite when falling from 1 m height or within 5 minutes after deposition. Therefore the test item has no pyrophoric properties according to the definition in the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.13.

Interpretation of results:
other: non pyrophoric
Endpoint:
self-heating substances / mixtures
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is completely molten at 160°C

Description of key information

non flammable
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water

not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The substance is non-flammable as determined in the test according to EU A.10. The substance does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water as determined in the test according to EU A.12. The substance is non-pyrophoric as determined in the test according to EU A.13. Since it is a solid completely molten at 160 °C, the substance is not self-heating.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:

No propagation of burning in a test according to E.U. method A.10.

The substance does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water (E.U. method A.12).

The substance is non-pyrophoric (E.U. method A.13).

The substance is not self-heating as a solid completely molten at 160 °C.
