Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2000

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to same study

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to other study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))

GLP compliance:

yes

Test procedure:

burning time (test type not further specified)

Remarks:

or specified in description of method

Remarks on result:

other: not highly flammable

The determination of the flammability of the test item was performed in accordance with the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 10 "Flammability (solids)", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. FAT 60253/A could not be ignited with a flame during the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, an orange coloured flame was observed without evolving any smoke. FAT 60253/A melted and a caramel coloured melt remained.Therefore, no main test was performed. In conclusion, FAT 60253/A is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the guideline.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 60253/A is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the guideline.

Executive summary:

The determination of the flammability of the test item was performed in accordance with the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 10 "Flammability (solids)", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. FAT 60253/A could not be ignited with a flame during the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, an orange coloured flame was observed without evolving any smoke. FAT 60253/A melted and a caramel coloured melt remained. Therefore, no main test was performed. In conclusion, FAT 60253/A is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the guideline.

Additional information

The determination of the flammability of the test item was performed in accordance with the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 10 "Flammability (solids)", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. FAT 60253/A could not be ignited with a flame during the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, an orange coloured flame was observed without evolving any smoke. FAT 60'253/A melted and a caramel coloured melt remained. Therefore, no main test was performed. In conclusion, FAT 60253/A is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the guideline.

Justification for classification or non-classification

FAT 60253/A could not be ignited with a flame during the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes). In contact with the ignition source, an orange coloured flame was observed without evolving any smoke. FAT 60253/A melted and a caramel coloured melt remained. In conclusion, FAT 60253/A is not "highly flammable" according to the criteria of the guideline.
