Results and discussion
Flammable solids
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- 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
Any other information on results incl. tables
Preliminary Test
The pile failed to ignite during the 2 minutes that the flame was applied.
The result of the preliminary test obviated the need to perform the main test.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite.
