Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): BAEE
- Substance type: Colourless liquid
- Physical state: Liquid
- Analytical purity: 95.9%
- Composition of test material, percentage of components: 2.2% ET-bis(aminoethyl)ether, 0.5% monoethanolamine, 0.12% methoxyethylmorpholine, 0.37% water
- Lot/batch No.: LL080179
- Storage condition of test material: Sample stored in cool, well-ventilated storage area prior to testing

Key result

Sample tested:

other: based on structural formula of the substance

Parameter:

other: presence of functional groups related to oxidising properties, electronegative atoms and oxygen atom bound to two carbon atoms

Remarks on result:

other: the structural formula of the tesqt substance did not show any of the properties above

Remarks:

Hence it is not expected to exhibit oxidising properties

Examining the structural formula, the following observations can be made:

- The molecule does not contain any functional groups such as organic nitro compounds, N-Halogen Compounds (N-X), Oxohalogen compounds, Interhalogen compounds

- The proportion of electronegative atoms in BAEE is low (1 oxygen atom out of an overall atom count of 19).

- The oxygen atom is bound to two carbon atoms

Assessment of the above observations indicates strongly that the molecule will not have oxidising properties.

On the basis of this exercise, the material should be considered as not oxidising and should not be subjected to experimental testing. The material meets all criteria for exemption from testing and has a structure not at all conducive with that required to exhibit oxidising tendencies.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is concluded not to have oxidising properties. The substance meets all criteria for exemption from testing and has a structure not at all conducive with that required to exhibit oxidising tendencies.

Description of key information

The test substance was concluded from a GLP study to not have oxidising properties following a theoretical assessment of the chemical structure (Younis S, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:

non oxidising

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance does not need to be classified as an oxidising substance as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemical groups indicating oxidising properties.
