Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study without GLP
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks:
or specified in description of method (migrated information)
Remarks on result:
other: Not ignite by a hot flame from a gas burner, instead of that the test item melts.
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:

Remarks on result:
no reaction with water observed
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item was formed into a particle train. A hot flame from a gas burner with a diameter of about 6 mm is used to ignite the pile at one end.In the preliminary screening test the substance does not ignite by a hot flame from the gas burner. Instead of that, the test item melts. Based on the results obtained octanoic acid, monoester with glycerol was considered "non flammable".
Executive summary:

The flammability of octanoic acid, monoester with glycerol was determined according to European Community, EC No. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-chemical Properties, Guideline A.10: "Flammability (Solids)", Official Journal of the European Union No. L142, May 31, 2008.
