guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: The Guidelines for the Testing of Chemical Properties and Physical Hazards (Ed.2) 1G12 test method for flammable solids, which in contacting with water emit flammable gases
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no

Batch No.: 140730
Purity: 96.7 wt%
Key result
Max. rate of gas release:
98.1 L/kg min
Identity of evolved gas:
other: CO2

Try to ignite the gas released by the sample, fail to ignite it.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The sample is not classified as a subsance which, in contact with water, emits flammable gases.
Executive summary:

The test substance was determined according to the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemical Properties and Physical Hazards (Ed.2) 1G12 test method for flammable solids, which in contacting with water emit flammable gases.

Maximum rate of evolution of flammable gas is 98.1 ml/(g.min) per minute. Try to ignite the gas released by the sample, fail to ignite it.

The sample is not classified as a substance which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases.

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
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2015-06-15
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods Manual of Tests and Criteria -UN, ST /SG/AC. 10/11/Rev. 5
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch No.: 140730
Purity: 96.7%
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
Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The sample could not be ignited during the stated test time (2 min), it can be proved that the test substance is not a flammable solid.
Executive summary:

The test was performed according to Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods Manual of Tests and Criteria -UN, ST /SG/AC. 10/11/Rev. 5.

The sample could not be ignited during the stated test time (2 min), it can be proved that the test substance is not a flammable solid.

Description of key information

Flammability:

The sample could not be ignited during the stated test time (2 min),it can be proved that the test substance is not a flammable solid.

Flammability in contact with water:

The sample is not classified as a substance which, in contact with water, emits flammable gases.

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) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Flammability:

The test was performed according to Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods Manual of Tests and Criteria -UN, ST /SG/AC. 10/11/Rev. 5.

The sample could not be ignited during the stated test time (2 min), it can be proved that the test substance is not a flammable solid.

Flammability in contact with water:

The test substance was determined according to the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemical Properties and Physical Hazards (Ed.2) 1G12 test method for flammable solids, which in contacting with water emit flammable gases.

Maximum rate of evolution of flammable gas is 98.1 ml/(g.min) per minute. Try to ignite the gas released by the sample, fail to ignite it.

The sample is not classified as a substance which, in contact with water, emits flammable gases.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Flammable solids:

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.7.2.1, powdered, granular or pasty substances shall be classified as readily combustible solids when the time of burning of one or more of the test runs is less than 45 seconds. As this substance does not ignite and propagate combustion by burning with flame within the 2 minutes test period, this substance should not be classified as flammable solids.

 

Flammability in contact with water:

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.12.2.2, a substance or mixture shall be classified as a substance or mixture which in contact with water emits flammable gases if spontaneous ignition takes place in any step of the test procedure. As try to ignite the gas released by the sample, fail to ignite it, the substance is not classified as a substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases.

 

Pyrophoric solids:

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 section 2.10.4.1, the classification procedure for pyrophoric solids need not be applied when experience in manufacture or handling shows that the substance or mixture does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures (i.e. the substance is known to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days)). As experience show this substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperature, so the classification procedure for pyrophoric solids need not be applied for this substance.
