Description of key information
Two studies have been performed to assess the flammability of the test material.
The first study (Tremain, 2007) concluded that the test material has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
The second study (Gilmore, 2003) concluded that the test material should be considered to be non-combustible.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Two studies have been performed to assess the flammability of the test material. Both have been conducted according to GLP Guidelines however only the most recent study (Tremain, 2007) has been conducted to OECD Guidelines. Based on this, the study carried out by Tremain is considered to be the more reliable study and has therefore been allocated as the key study of interest.
Tremain 2007
The flammability (solids) was determined by measuring the burning rate of test material prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using Method A10 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
The test material has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to ignite in the preliminary screening test.
Gilmore, 2003
The test was performed in accordance with SOP, LP-06. The method used is based on Official Journal of the European Communities L383 A.10. June1996.
Train Fire (10 cm burn): Non-combustible. (Supports localised burning).
The material is classified as a non-combustible solid and will not support propagating combustion. It can support combustion in the vicinity of a very hot ignition source.
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the test material failed to ignite in the study conducted according to Method A10 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, it can be considered to be not classified for flammability according to current classification and labelling guidelines.
