- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- Guidelines followed
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Batch no. SQU196
Appearance Prill
Composition Potassium benzoate > 99% - Key result
- Test procedure:
- burning rate test: preliminary screening test
- Remarks on result:
- substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item melted but the molten mass did not burn. The test item showed no signs of flammability.
- Executive summary:
Since ignition did not occur within two minutes, the test item was classified as not highly flammable (for EU regulations) and non-flammable solid (for UN regulations), respective-ly.
No determination of burning rate was necessary.
Reference
The test item melted but the molten mass did not burn. The test item showed no signs of flammability.
Mixing in water was performed as part of other testing. The substance does not react in water and does not evolve flammable gas.
Description of key information
The test item melted but the molten mass failed to ignite. The test item showed no signs of flammability.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
No dangerous reaction in water observed
Justification for classification or non-classification
