Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
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:
no
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Name: FAT 41047/A
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Remarks on result:
other: An ignition occurred within two minutes. The burning rate was 30s/10cm.

Findings

Safety Pre-Test: A small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner. Burning was observed. The test item ignited.

Preliminary screening test

The test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Burning was observed during heating. An ignition occurred within two minutes.

Determination of Burning Rate: The test item burned with a rate of 30 s / 10 cm.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (flammable solids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
FAT 41047/A TE is considered as highly flammable.
Executive summary:

This study was performed in order to determine the flammability of FAT 41047/A TE using EU method A.10. The flammability is a physical-chemical property which is needed for hazard assessment and safety purposes.

In a safety pre-test, small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner. Burning was observed. The test item ignited.

Since ignition was observed, preliminary screening test was conducted. The test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Burning was observed during heating. Ignition occurred within two minutes. Hence, the determination of the burning rate was necessary, which was found to be 30 s / 10 cm.

The wetted zone stops the flame propagation, i.e. the flames extinguishes once reaching the wetted zone.

Based on the findings of the study, FAT 41047/A TE is considered as highly flammable.

Additional information

This study was performed in order to determine the flammability of FAT 41047/A TE using EU method A.10. The flammability is a physical-chemical property which is needed for hazard assessment and safety purposes. In a safety pre-test, small amount of the test item was heated on a magnesia groove with a gas burner. Burning was observed. The test item ignited.

Since ignition was observed, preliminary screening test was conducted. The test item was heated with the flame of a teclu burner. Burning was observed during heating. Ignition occurred within two minutes. Hence, the determination of the burning rate was necessary, which was found to be 30 s / 10 cm. The wetted zone stops the flame propagation, i.e. the flames extinguishes once reaching the wetted zone.

Based on the findings of the study, FAT 41047/A TE is considered as highly flammable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the findings of the flammability study, FAT 41047/A is classified as flammable solid cat 2 as per the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
