Key result

Test procedure:

other: The pile of the test substance was exposed to flames of a gas burner

Remarks on result:

other: No ignition within 2 minutes

Findings:

Safety Pre-Test:

A small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner. Glowing was observed. The test item showed no signs of ignition.

Preliminary screening test:

The test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Glowing was observed during heating. No ignition occurred within two minutes.

Interpretation of results:

non flammable

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

No ignition was observed throughout the course of the preliminary screening test. Hence, the test item should be considered as not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to evaluate the flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.10. No ignition was observed throughout the course of the preliminary screening test. Hence, the test item should be considered as not highly flammable.

Description of key information

A study was conducted to evaluate the flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.10. No ignition was observed throughout the course of the preliminary screening test. Hence, the test item should be considered as not highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the substance was found to be not highly flammable in the preliminary screening test, it does not require classification as per the CLP (Regulation EC No. 1272/2008) criteria.
