Key result

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

Remarks:

or specified in description of method (migrated information)

Burning time:

> 240 s

Preliminary test: Burning time > 4 min, no metal powder. Therefore, the preliminary screening test is negative.

Main test: Omitted due to result of preliminary test.

Interpretation of the results: The test substance is not considered highly flammable.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Based on the results, the test substance can be considered as not flammable.

Executive summary:

In a study conducted according to EU method A.10, the burning time of the pile in a preliminary test was > 4 minutes. Thus, it was not necessary to conduct a main test and the test item maleic anhydride can be considered as a not flammable solid.
