Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- May 27, 2013
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.17 (Oxidising Properties (Solids))
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Key result
- Sample tested:
- test mixture as specified
- Remarks:
- ratio 2:1 test substance/cellulose
- Parameter:
- preliminary test
- Remarks on result:
- mixture does not ignite and burn
- Remarks:
- The test substance was milled with a centrifugal mill to < 0.125 mm. The test substance could not be dried with 105°C, because it melts. Therefore, the moist salaly was determined. Moist salaly = 0.38%.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the test substance was not oxidizing.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine oxidizing properties of the test substance according to EU Method A.17. Initially, a preliminary screening study was carried out on a mixture of test substance with dried cellulose in a ratio of 2:1. This was followed by the full train test with range of mixtures of the test substance with cellulose and reference substances. A hot flame from a gas burner with a diameter of about 6 mm was used as ignition source in both tests. The preliminary screening test showed no propagation of the flame and the flame ceased. Therefore, the full train test was carried out. In the full train test, the mixtures in the range of 10 to 90 % test substance/cellulose showed no propagation of the flame and the flame ceased after a few seconds. Under the study conditions, the test substance was therefore not oxidizing (Bütfering, 2013).
Reference
The test substance was milled with a centrifugal mill to < 0.125 mm. The test substance could not be dried with 105°C, because it melts. Therefore, the moist salaly was determined. Moist salaly = 0.38%.
Preliminary test
The preliminary screening test showed no propagation of the flame and the flame ceased. Therefore, the full test was carried out.
Train test
The mixtures in the range of 10 to 90 % test substance/cellulose showed no propagation of the flame and the flame ceased after a few seconds.
