Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The chemical structure of the test substance was examined for the presence of groups associated with oxidising properties according to UN recommendations (Appendix 6 of the UN's Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria 4th ed (Revised Edition, 2003) and Section R7.1.13.3 of the REACH guidance R.7a: Endpoint-specific guidance (May 2008). Expert judgment was applied to conclude on the oxidising properties of the test substance.

GLP compliance:

Test material

Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd.

EC Number:

266-946-3

EC Name:

Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd.

Cas Number:

67701-28-4

Molecular formula:

Triglycerides containing a glycerol backbone esterified to fatty acids with a carbon chain length of C8-18 as well as unsaturated C18 fatty acids

IUPAC Name:

Tri(C8-18 and C18-unsatd. fatty acyl)glycerol

Details on test material:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Fully hydrogenated coconut oil (CAS N° 84836-98-6, EC N° 284-283-8); under the SDA nomenclature, the name of this substance is ‘Glycerides, C8-18, C18 unsaturated’

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The calculated oxygen demand for the combustion of the individual components of fully hydrogenated coconut oil:

C3+n1+n2+n3H2(n1+n2+n3+1)O6 + 0.5+1.5 (n1+n2+n3) O2 → 3+n1+n2+n3 CO2 + 1+n1+n2+n3 H2O

The equation indicate a consumption of oxidants during combustion of fully hydrogenated coconut oil.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: no oxidising properties

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test substance is not expected to have oxidising properties

Executive summary:

The chemical structure of the test substance was examined for the presence of groups associated with oxidising properties according to UN recommendations (Appendix 6 of the UN's Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria 4th ed (Revised Edition, 2003) and Section 7.1.13.3 of the REACH guidance R.7a: Endpoint-specific guidance (May 2008).

For all constituents of the product, it can be assessed through expert judgment based on the evaluation of the available data and the composition of the constituents that fully hydrogenated coconut oil will not show oxidizing properties.
