- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the oxidizing properties of the test item according to EU Method A.17. The dried test substance was thoroughly mixed with the dried cellulose in the proportion 2 of test substance to 1 of cellulose by weight. As reference mixture Ba(NO3)2 was mixed with the dried cellulose in the proportion 3 to 2. The test item does not sustain a combustion reaction in a relevant mixture with cellulose at a burning rate near or higher than that of the reference mixture. Therefore, the test item has no oxidizing properties.

*) The burning of the Test sample mixture proceeded slowly by smoulder upon discoloration from yellow to black with brown spots and smoke formation. After 17 min the pile was turned from originally yellow to black with brown spots while smoking was hardly visible anymore. On breaking up 10 minutes later the inside of the cone was brown and appeared (still) smouldering and some glowing was visible.
A repeat of the test resulted in similar phenomena: the burning of the pile took 19 min and smoulder inside was still visible 10 min later.
**) Three replicates, individual values 53, 51 and 52 s; average value 52 s.
The substance is to be considered as oxidizing if the reaction is vigorous in comparison with the reference mixture of barium nitrate and cellulose and no further testing is then required. The test substance shows only a slowly progressing smoulder in the Preliminary test (burning behaviour of the cone of test mixtures). This observation, together with the theoretical consideration, demonstrates well that the test substance has no oxidizing properties. For these reasons it was decided that the full Train test would be meaningless and had not to be carried out.
Description of key information
The test item has not to be classified as oxidising solid, oxidising liquid or oxidising gas.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising
Additional information
Oxidising gases
The test item is a solid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for gases. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as oxidising gases.
Oxidising liquids
The test item is a solid at ambient conditions. This hazard class is only applicable for gases. Thus, the substance was not considered for classification as oxidising liquids.
Oxidising solids
A study was conducted to determine the oxidizing properties of the test item according to EU Method A.17. The dried test substance was thoroughly mixed with the dried cellulose in the proportion 2 of test substance to 1 of cellulose by weight. As reference mixture Ba(NO3)2 was mixed with the dried cellulose in the proportion 3 to 2. The test item does not sustain a combustion reaction in a relevant mixture with cellulose at a burning rate near or higher than that of the reference mixture. Therefore, the test item has no oxidizing properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Based on the chemical structure and taking into account the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2020/1182, and UN GHS Rev 8 (2019) the substance is not considered to be classified for oxidising properties.
