Endpoint:

flammable solids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

April - June 2020

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)

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Storage conditions: Controlled room temperature (15-25°C, ≤70% relative humidity), protected from light and humidity (stored in a tightly closed container)

Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Burning time:

> 120 s

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

PRELIMINARY IGNITION TEST:

A hot flame from a gas burner was applied to one end of the powder train for a maximum of 2 minutes. The test was performed two times. The test item did not propagate by combustion neither by burning with a flame or smouldering, therefore, no further testing was performed.

MAIN TEST:

Based on the results of the preliminary tests, no further testing was required.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Two parallel flammability tests were performed. Both tests were negative. The test item, LZ 61000 is considered to be non-flammable under the conditions of this test.

Executive summary:

The study was performed in accordance with EU method A.10. In the pre-test, a hot flame from a gas burner was applied to one end of the powder train for a maximum of 2 minutes. The test was performed two times.

The test item did not propagate by combustion neither by burning with a flame or smouldering, therefore, no further testing was performed. The test item, LZ 61000 is considered to be non-flammable under the conditions of this test.

Description of key information

The study was performed in accordance with EU method A.10. In the pre-test, a hot flame from a gas burner was applied to one end of the powder train for a maximum of 2 minutes. The test was performed two times.

The test item did not propagate by combustion neither by burning with a flame or smouldering, therefore, no further testing was performed. The test item, LZ 61000 is considered to be non-flammable under the conditions of this test.

The studies A.12 and A.13 were not performed, as the substance will hydrolyze immediately in contact with water or humid air. There are no flammable gases formed during hydrolysis. Hydrolysis was confirmed in a hydrolysis study according to OECD 111.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:

not classified

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available the substance is not classified or labeled according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
