Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
oxidising solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
Endpoint:
oxidising solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
15-19 Apr 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))
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Contact with:
powdered cellulose
Sample tested:
reference mixture as specified
Remarks:
barium nitrate - cellulose, 60% barium nitrate
Parameter:
maximum burning rate
Result:
1.77 mm/s
Remarks on result:
other: burning time over 200 mm: 113 s
Sample tested:
test mixture as specified
Remarks:
test item - cellulose, 20% test item
Parameter:
maximum burning rate
Result:
1.02 mm/s
Remarks on result:
other: burning time over 200 mm: 196 s

The highest burning rate 1.02 mm/s was found for the mixture with 5 % test item.
The maximum burning rate of the mixtures of the test item and cellulose (1.02 mm/s) was lower than the maximum burning rate of the reference mixture of cellulose and barium nitrate (1.77 mm/s).
Due to the fact that the mixture of the test item with cellulose burned slower compared to the reference mixture, it was concluded that the test item demonstrated no oxidising properties, in the sense of EU Method A.17.


Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met

Description of key information

not oxidising

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

There are no chemical groups associated with the oxidising properties in the molecule of the substance. This is confirmed by the test results according to EU Method A.17.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on oxidising properties of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: The substance is not oxidising, since there are no chemical groups associated with oxidising properties present in the molecule. This is confirmed by the result of the EU A.17 test.
