Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
GLP compliance:
no
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Storage conditions: ambient temperature (10 – 30 °C), dry
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: Pile was ignited for 5 min, test item could not be ignited with a flame within this interval.

Results
Preliminary Test
As the test item is a metal salt, the pile was ignited for 5 minutes. Within this interval, the test item could not be ignited with a flame and it discoloured to yellow.

The performance of the main test was not necessary.

Conclusion: The test item is not a flammable solid

Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Description of key information

The test item is not a flammable solid. (EU method A.10., Burning rate preliminary screening test).

No pyrophoricity.

No flammability on contact with water.

Not self-heating.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

The flammability of the substance was determined according to EU Method A.10. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected . Based on melting point study (OECD 102) and on production temperature, the susbtance is not self-heating.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: No propagation of burning in a test according to EU Method A.10. Based on the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. DSC results exclude self-heating of the susbtance up to 600 °C.
