Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

6.3 min

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:

According to the definition in the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Phosphoric acid, C12-18-alkyl esters, potassium salts has not to be considered as flammable.

Executive summary:

The flammability of Phosphoric acid, C12-18-alkyl esters, potassium salts was determined according to EU method A.10. 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 is ignited by the hot flame from a gas burner. The flame propagates along the whole test train within 6 minutes and 18 seconds. The main test does not need to be carried out.
