Results and discussion

Flammable solids
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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Preliminary Test 

The test item did not ignite at room temperature using a flame as ignition source being applied for at least 2 minutes. The test item melted.

Main Test

In the preliminary test the test item could not be ignited by a flame. Therefore, the performance of the main test was not necessary.

Classification

The test item should not be classified by:

UN Transport Regulation: The test item does not have to be classified as readily combustible solid in Class 4, Division 4.1 according to the UN Transport Regulation.

GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1:2.7: The test item does not have to be classified as flammable solid according to GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation) Annex 1: 2.7.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural could not be ignited applying a flame as ignition source for at least 2 minutes. The test item melted.
The test item should not be classified neither as readily combustible solid in Class 4, Division 4.1 according to the UN Transport Regulation nor as flammable solid according to GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.7.
Executive summary:

The test item 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural could not be ignited applying a flame as ignition source for at least 2 minutes. The test item melted.
