This indicates that 2-[[4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-o-tolyl]azo]-5-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS no. 12236 -25-8) is not auto-flammable.

Flammability:

2-[[4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-o-tolyl]azo]-5-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS no. 12236-25-8) does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that 2-[[4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-o-tolyl]azo]-5-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS no. 12236-25-8) is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus 2-[[4-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-o-tolyl]azo]-5-nitrobenzonitrile (CAS no. 12236-25-8) was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.

Explosiveness:

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance contains some chemical group associated with explosive properties which include oxygen, but the calculated oxygen balance is less than - 200, hence this study considered to be waiver.

Oxidising properties:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidizing properties and hence the classification procedure does not need to be applied.
