Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From 06 December 2011 to 22 December 2011
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Version / remarks:
Reg. 440/2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks:
In the both assays, the test item darkened and reddened but neither propagation nor ignition was observed.
Moisture (wt %):
40
Remarks on result:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

Taking into account the results obtained during the preliminary test, no main test was performed. In both assays the test item darkened

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was not considered as highly flammable under the experimental conditions used.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for its flammability properties according to the EC A10 method and following the GLP.

The preliminary test was performed twice. In both assays, the test item darkened and reddened but neither propagation nor ignition was observed.

Taking into account the results obtained during the preliminary test, no main test was performed.

The test item is not considered as highly flammable under the experimental conditions.

Description of key information

The substance "Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall, extracted" does not ignite and propagate either by burning with flame or smouldering in two assays of the preliminary screening test.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified
