Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

26 Sep 2016 to 27 Oct 2016

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)

GLP compliance:

yes

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

PRELIMINARY TEST:

- The test substance melted and ignited on application of the ignition source, but self-extinguished rapidly on its removal. It did not propagate combustion and the burning time over 200 mm could not be determined.

FULL TEST SERIES:

- Not required.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

(i) The test substance did not propagate combustion.
(ii) The test substance is not classified as highly flammable in terms of its burning characteristics.

Executive summary:

A test was carried out in accordance with  UN Test N.1 and in compliance with GLP.

i) The test substance did not propagate combustion.

(ii) The test substance is not classified as highly flammable in terms of its burning characteristics.

Description of key information

Negative test results were obtained in flammability studies as the substance did not propagate combustion in the preliminary test. The substance is not classified as highly flammable in terms of its burning characteristics, Jackson 2016.

As the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time and is soluble in water to form a stable mixture, no studies are needed with respect to "pyrophoric solid features" and "Substance/ mixtures which in contact with water emits flammable gases", respectively. Finally, no study is needed to determine self-heating characteristics because the substance has a melting point of <160 °C and there is no evidence of self-heating properties for this substance up to 400°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, the test substance is not classified as flammable solid, self-heating substance, pyrophoric solid or substance which in contact with water emits flammable gases in accordance with EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. (EC) 1272/2008.
