Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18 April 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
< 4 min
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (flammable solids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was found to be highly flammable in a preliminary test. As no further test item was available, the test was concluded at this preliminary stage.
Executive summary:

The flammability of the test item was investigated in an EC Method A.10 study. The test item was observed to ignite and the flame propagated along 200 mm of the train in less than 4 minutes. As this was shorter than the limit, the test item was considered to be highly flammable. As no further test item was available, the test was concluded at this preliminary stage.

 

The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is fully acceptable for assessment of this endpoint.

Description of key information

The test item was highly flammable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The flammability of the test item was investigated in an EC Method A.10 study. The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is fully acceptable for assessment of this endpoint (Dunning 2018).

The test item was found to be highly flammable in a preliminary study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item was observed to ignite and the flame propagated along 200 mm of the train in less than 4 minutes. As this was shorter than the limit, the test item was considered to be highly flammable.

 

As no further test item was available, the test was concluded at this preliminary stage, and the substance was assigned a precautionary classification as a category 1 flammable solid; until a definitive test can be performed.
