Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline

Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks:
few seconds
Burning time:
> 4 min
Remarks on result:
other: few seconds

In the preliminary test, the flame ceased a few seconds after removing the gas burner. Therefore, the combustion is beyond the specified time frame for flammability of 4 minutes for 200 mm.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was non flammable.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.10. The determination was carried out with the powdery test substance which was formed into a particle train. A hot flame from a gas burner was used to ignite the pile at one end. The flame ceased a few seconds after removing the gas burner. Therefore, the combustion was beyond the specified time frame for flammability of 4 minutes for 200 mm. Under the study conditions, the test substance was not considered as flammable (Bütfering, 2013).

Description of key information

The flammability was determined according to EU Method A.10 (Bütfering, 2013).
