Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

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. 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.
