1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Identity: RM1006114
Appearance: White creamy solid (at 20°C)
Storage conditions: Room temperature (15 to 25°C)

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

ca. 10 s

Remarks on result:

other: The substance melted and burned with a yellow flame, which extinguished approximately 10 seconds after the removal of the burner flame. Combustion did not propagate along the train.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is not highly flammable.

Executive summary:

The substance melted and burned with a yellow flame, which extinguished approximately 10 seconds after the removal of the burner flame. Combustion did not propagate along the train. As a negative result was obtained in the preliminary test, a definitive burning rate test was not required. The substance is not highly flammable.

Reference 2

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 known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Reference 3

Endpoint:

substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

Description of key information

The substance was not highly flammable. The substance is also not pyrophoric and does not give rise to flammable gases in contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance melted and burned with a yellow flame, which extinguished approximately 10 seconds after the removal of the burner flame. Combustion did not propagate along the train.

As a negative result was obtained in the preliminary test, a definitive burning rate test was not required.
