Additional information
Flammability (solids)
The flammability of the test material was determined in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.10.
In a preliminary screening test, a mould (250 x 20 x 10 mm) was loosely filled with test material. A non-combustible, non-porous board was placed onto the mould which was then inverted. The mould was removed and an air-rich Bunsen burner flame applied to one end of the pile until ignition occurred or for a maximum of two minutes. If combustion occurred, the time taken to propagate 200 mm was recorded.
During the preliminary screening test, the pile failed to ignite during the two minutes that the Bunsen flame was applied. The negative result of the screening test negated the need to perform the main test. The test material was therefore determined to be not highly flammable under the conditions of the test.
Flammability (pyrophoric properties)
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, it is considered that testing does not appear to be scientifically necessary as pyrophoric properties are not to be expected based upon chemical structure.
Flammability (contact with water)
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, it is considered that testing does not appear to be scientifically necessary as water reactivity is not to be expected based upon chemical structure.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to flammability.
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex VI, Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD), the substance does not require classification with respect to flammability.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
