Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
October 11, 2017 (Study initiation) - November 17, 2017 (Study termination)
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)
Version / remarks:
rev. 6
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test item is loosely filled into a mould. The mould is made of metal, has a length of 250 mm and a triangular cross section with an inner height of 10 mm and an inner width of 20 mm. On both sides of the mould in a longitudinal direction two metal sheets are mounted as lateral limitations which project 2 mm beyond the upper edge of the triangular cross section. The mould is dropped three times from a height of 2 cm onto a solid surface. If necessary the mould is filled up again. Then the lateral limitations are removed and the excess substance is scraped off. A non-combustible and non-porous plate is placed on top of the mould, the apparatus is inverted and the mould is removed.

As ignition source a flame is used to ignite the pile at one end.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Test item: Calciumhydridpulver K
- Batch No.: 80181
- Identity: 94.5 % Ca
- Physical state: Light grey granules
- Storage conditions: Ambient temperature (10°C to 30 °C), under inert gas
- Expiry date: September 11, 2018








Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: The test item could not be ignited with a flame. The test item showed a slight discolouration.
Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flammability of calcium hydride was tested according to UN Manual of tests and criteria N°1. The result of this test demonstrated that the test item is not a readily combustible solid in the sense of UN Manual of test and criteria, Method N°1.

Description of key information

The flammability of calcium hydride was tested according to UN Manual of tests and criteria N°1. The test item could not be ignited with a flame (preliminary test). The test item showed a slight discolouration. The performance of the main test was not necessary. Conclusion: The test item is not a flammable solid according to chapter 2.7 of the GHS (CLP) regulation.
