key study

Study period:

2017-11-21

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)

Version / remarks:

2015

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

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

In the preliminary test the test item could not be ignited. The test item melted. Thus, the performance of the main test was not necessary.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

According to the UN Transport Regulation, the test item Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with triethylenetetramine has not to be classified as readily combustible solid in class 4.1.
According to GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.7, the test item Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with triethylenetetramine has not to be classified as flammable solid.

Executive summary:

The flammability of Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with triethylenetetramine (solid) was determined according to the recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Manual of Tests and Criteria, 6th edition, New York and Geneva, 2015: Class 4, Division 4.1: Readily Combustible Solids, Test N.1.

In a preliminary screening test, the test item was formed into an unbroken particle train about 250 mm long. A flame as ignition source was used to ignite the pile at one end. In the preliminary screening test, the test item could not be ignited at room temperature using a flame as ignition source being applied for at least 2 minutes. The test item melted.
