Description of key information
Hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing. It contains one of the chemical groups which are oxidizing (i.e. –O-O-; inorganic peroxide). Study report (Vorwinkle 2016a) investigated a 69.7% solution of hydrogen peroxide, this was determined to meet the criteria of a category 1 strong oxidiser under the GHS classification system. Two studies were conducted on 60 and 63% solutions of hydrogen peroxide, both solutions were classified as a category 2 oxidiser in accordance with GHS (Neis 2017, Vorwinkle 2016b). In a study reprot (Wildner 2001) hydrogen peroxide solutions (≥ 40 % ≤ 50 %) were shown between oxidising category 2 and 3, and furthermore at concentrations below 40% they were not classified as oxidising.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- yes
