Preliminary Test
The test item did not ignite at room temperature using a flame as ignition source being applied for at least 2 minutes.
Main Test
In the preliminary test the test item could not be ignited by a flame. Thus, the performance of the main test was not necessary.
Self-ignition in the Grewer Oven
In the investigation of self-heating in the Grewer Oven for the pure test item, an endothermic effect was detected in the temperature range of 40 – 150 °C, which may be caused by the drying of the test item. Starting at a temperature of approx. 160 °C the test item showed a self-heating, which leaded to a maximum temperature of 180 °C. After the measurement a black residue remained in the basket.
For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr no endothermic or exothermic effects were detected.
Table 1 summarizes the results of the Grewer Oven experiment.

On the basis of the results of the screening test on theself-heating in the Grewer Oven a classification of the test item as self-heating substance cannot be excluded. Further tests have to be performed for the classification.
Bowes-Cameron-Cage Test (UN Test N.4)
140 °C, 100 mm cube sample
The temperature in the centre of the sample did not exceed the oven temperature of 140°C over a time period of 24 h.
Due to the negative result in the 100 mm cube sample at an oven temperature of 140 °C no further tests had to be performed.

Additional information
Flammable solids
A study was conducted according Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids) of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria to determine the flammability of the test substance. The test item was tested without pre-treatment. The test item could not be ignited with a flame in the preliminary test. Therefore the performance of the main test was not necessary
Then test item was not considered for classification as flammable solid.
Flammable gases
The test item is a solid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for gases. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable gas.
Flammable liquid
The test item is a solid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for liquids. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as flammable liquid.
Pyrophoric solids
The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days). Thus, no study was conducted and the substance was not considered for classification as pyrophoric solids.
Pyrophoric liquids
The test item is a solid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for liquids. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as pyrophoric liquid.
Self-heating substances and mixtures
A study was conducted according to UN-Test N.4 (Bowes-Cameron-Cage Test). On the basis of this result the test item has not to be classified as self-heating substance.
Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VI and with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Annex I section 2.12.4 and ECHA guidance on the application of CLP Criteria section 2.12.4.2 the classification procedure for this hazard class need not to be applied. Based on the experience in handling and use the substance does not react with water and in addition the test substance is not pyrophoric. Thus, no study was conducted and the substance was not considered for classification.
Flammable Aerosols
Section 2.4.2 of Guidance on the application on the CLP Criteria state as follows:
“Aerosols, this means aerosol dispensers, are any non-refillable receptacles made of metal, glass or plastics and containing a gas compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, with or without a liquid, paste or powder, and fitted with a release device allowing the contents to be ejected as solid or liquid particles in suspension in a gas, as a foam, paste or powder or in a liquid state or in a gaseous state." Thus, as the substance does not meet the definition for aerosol, the test for aerosols was waived. Consequently the substance has not to be considered for classification for this hazard class.
In conclusion the substance has not to be considered as flammable gas, flammable liquid, flammable solid, flammable in contact with water, flammable aerosol, pyrophoric solid, pyrophoric liquid or self-heating substance.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with Annex I Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.9, Section 2.10 Section 2.11, Section 2.12 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) No 2019/521, and UN GHS Rev 6 (2015) the test item has not to be classified as, flammable liquid, readily combustible solid in class 4 Division 4.1, self-heating substance in Class 4 Division 4.2, substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases in Class 4 Division 4.3, pyrophoric liquid, pyrophoric solid in class 4 Division 4.2, flammable gases in class 2 or as aerosol in class 2.
