This test is designed to determine the ignitability and the combustibility of a dried product according to the following criterions: ?

- Can the product be ignited at all ?

- Is the ignition propagated ?

- Is there a fire or a flameless reaction ?

- What is the deflagration, propagation velocity ?

The tests are carried out at room temperature and at elevated temperature (e.g. 100°C). An electrically heated platinum wire is shortly dipped into the test substance and the response of the compound is observed.
