Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 21 June 2010 to 29 June 2010
- 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)
- Test procedure:
- burning time (test type not further specified)
- Burning time:
- >= 46 - <= 55 s
- Remarks on result:
- other: The pile burnt with a yellow flame, leaving a grey/white charred residue.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not highly flammable in accordance with EU criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion over the 100 mm of the main test in under 45 seconds.
- Executive summary:
The flammability (solids) was determined by measuring the burning rate of test item prepared as a pile of set dimensions. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A10 Flammability (Solids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion over the 100 mm of the main test in under 45 seconds.
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with Section 1 of Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), it is considered justified to omit the Flammability (Contact with Water) study required under section 7.10 of Annex VII, on the basis that the testing does not appear to be scientifically necessary. The chemical structure of the test material contains no groups which would indicate potential reactivity with water and in addition, experience of handling the material and the known chemical and physical properties of the substance suggest that it is not flammable in contact with water. - Endpoint:
- pyrophoric solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with Section 1 of Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), it is considered justified to omit the Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids study, required under section 7.10 of Annex VII, on the basis that the testing does not appear to be scientifically necessary. The chemical structure of the test material contains no groups which would indicate potential pyrophoric properties. In addition, experience of handling the material and the known chemical and physical properties of the substance suggest that it is not pyrophoric.

Preliminary screening test
The pile ignited and burnt with a yellow flame, leaving a grey/white charred residue. The pile propagated combustion over the 200 mm in 1 minute 26 seconds.
Main test
The burning times are for propagation of combustion over 100 mm after an initial burning distance of 80 mm.

Description of key information
The test item has been determined to be not highly flammable as it failed to propagate combustion over the 100 mm of the main test in under 45 seconds (EU method A10)
Based on the known chemical and physical properties of the substance and its chemical structure, negative results are predicted for the following flammability tests of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, so it is considered justified to omit them;
Method A12: Flammability (contact with water)
Method A13: Pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The key study (Tremain & Atwal, 2010) was conducted according to EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)) and GLP. A reliability rating of 1 was assigned to this study, according to the criteria of Klimisch, 1997
Justification for classification or non-classification
From the results of the study submitted, and as the substance is predicted to be negative in tests EU Method A12: Flammability (contact with water) and EU Method A13: Pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids based on the chemical groups present. The substance does not require classification under regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
