Results and discussion
Flammable solids
- Test procedure:
- burning time (test type not further specified)
- Remarks:
- or specified in description of method (migrated information)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Since ignition did not occur within 2 min, the test item was classified as not flammable, and no determination of burning rate was necessary.
Pyrophoric solids
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Pyrophoric liquids
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Preliminary screening test
The test item glowed in the flame, partly with red heat. It was noted that the substance did not start burning. There was no ignition. After 2 min, the burner was taken away. The glowing continued for approx. 2 -3 min and died then. A grey residue was observed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- non flammable
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Since ignition did not occur within two minutes, the test item was classified as not flammable
