Reference

Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From March 09, 2016 to March 09, 2016

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with national standard methods

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Test N.1 (Test method for readily combustible solids)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

not specified

Specific details on test material used for the study:

batch n° 145
Appearance white granular powder

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test over 100 mm length

Remarks on result:

other: the flame extinguished shortly after the gas burner was removed, without propagating along the test train

The test substance was formed into a particle train. A hot flame from a gas burner with a diameter of about 6 mm was used to ignite the pile at one end. In the preliminary screening test, the substance was ignited by a hot flame from a gas burner. The flame extinguished after the gas burner was removed and did not propagate along the test train. The test substance was not to be classified as a readily combustible solid of the UN-class 4.1.

The classsification, based on the test results of the self-heating substances, is to be made according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 of the Europeen Parliament and of the Council on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Interpretation of results:

other: not classified based on CLP criteria

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the substance could not be ignited and was not classified as a readily combustible solid.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flammability temperature of the test substance according to the test method N.1 (test method for readily combustible solids) as described in the UN Recommendations of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criterian part III, sub-section 33.2.1.4. The test substance was formed into a particle train. A hot flame from a gas burner with a diameter of about 6 mm was used to ignite the pile at one end. In the preliminary screening test, the substance was ignited by a hot flame from a gas burner. The flame extinguished shortly after the gas burner was removed without propagating along the test train. Under the study conditions, the substance could not be ignited and was not classified as a readily combustible solid (Kintrup, 2016).
