Reference
Test A10 flammability (solids): the test substance did not burn or char. No further testing was necessary.
Description of key information
The substance is non-flammable in contact with air, does not produce a flammable gas in contact with water, and does not burn on application of an ignition source.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
MPP is negative in EU test A10.
Test A10 is different from the UN test N.1 required for CLP classification in that a wetted zone is not used. However, given that there was no burning or even charring in test A10 and taking into account that the technical function of the substance is a flame retardant, it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that MPP would produce a negative result in UN test N.1 and MPP is therefore not classified as a flammable solid.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Experience in use and handling shows that the substance is not flammable in contact with air and does not produce a flammable gas in contact with water. The substance does not burn on application of an ignition source.
Classification for aerosol flame extension/projection is not warranted as the substance is not manufactured or used in aerosol form.
Classification based on explosion limits is not warranted as the substance is a solid at room temperature.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
