Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Applying the internationally recognised UN Recommendation criteria, ZP-TIX 1014 is found to be non-oxidising and therefore is not to be tested experimentally for the classification under division 5.1 as oxidising substances. Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable
doubt that ZP-TIX 1014 is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.
contact with combustible material.

Executive summary:

The oxidising properties of ZP-TIX 1014 were screened based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999) where a set of criteria is compiled to evaluate the need for classification of materials as oxidising substances.

According to the criteria as described in the above mentioned UN document the classification procedure using experimental testing need not be applied for organic compounds if the compound does not contain oxvgen, fluorine or chlorine.

Since the molecular formula of ZP-TIX 1014 contains oxygen, therefore the second criteria of the Orange Book UN Recommendations has to be applied. This states that the classification procedure using experimental testing need not to be applied for organic compounds if the compound contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemicallv bonded onlv to carbon and hydrogen.

This second criteria is fulfilled for ZP-TIX 1014. The test item is a mixture of several closely related compounds where the number of C-atoms in the alkyl chain varies between ten and fourteen. All of them contain oxygen in an isocyanato group and in a carbamic acid group, thus bonded to carbon only.
