Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Key result
Test procedure:
burning time (test type not further specified)
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
The sample was manually ground in a mortar, the fraction with a particle size of less than 500 microns was used to prepare the pile. The test flame was applied for over two minutes. The pile in contact with the pilot flame melted and after about 20 seconds a pool of liquid was observed. The liquid become darker but didn’t burn. Once the test flame was removed, smoke and vapors were observed for a further 8 seconds.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: According to test method A.10, the sample labelled as Hydroxytyrosol is not readily flammable.
Conclusions:
The sample labelled as Hydroxytyrosol should not be considered as highly flammable and no further testing is required.

According to test method A.10, the sample labelled as Hydroxytyrosol is not readily flammable.
