Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
4-nitrosophenol
EC Number:
203-251-6
EC Name:
4-nitrosophenol
Cas Number:
104-91-6
Molecular formula:
C6H5NO2
IUPAC Name:
4-nitrosophenol
Test material form:
solid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Sample was commerical grade, with up to 20% water present.

Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Moisture (wt %):
20
Remarks on result:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The sample contained a high level of water, partly invalidating the test.
However, the substance is thermally unstable and is classified as self-reactive : H251 Self-heating: may catch fire.
