Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test material has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over the 200 mm of the preliminary screening test.
Executive summary:

Method

The flammability (solids) was determined by measuring the burning rate of test material prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using Method A10 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

Results

Preliminary screening test

The pile ignited and burnt with a small orange flame which self-extinguished 2 seconds after the Bunsen flame was removed without propagating combustion.

The result of the preliminary screening test obviated the need to perform the main test.

Conclusion

The test material has been determined to be not highly flammable as it did not propagate combustion over the 200 mm of the preliminary screening test.
