Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item was determined not to have oxidising properties as the mean pressure rise time for the test item/cellulose mixtures was greater than the mean pressure rise time for the nitric acid/cellulose mixtures.

Executive summary:

Method

The oxidising properties of the test item were determined by comparing the pressure rise time, between 690 and 2070 kPa, for mixtures of test item/cellulose with reference mixtures of nitric acid/cellulose. Testing was conducted using a method designed to be compatible with Method A21 Oxidising Properties (Liquids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A; Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.

Procedure

The cellulose was dried to constant weight at approximately 105°C. Cellulose (2.5 g) and nitric acid, 65% (2.5 g) were mixed together and the mixture packed into a pressure vessel. The vessel was closed with a bursting disc and 10 amps was applied to the ignition wire. The time between mixing and applying the power was within 10 minutes. The mixture was heated until the pressure disc ruptured or for at least 60 seconds. The pressure rise time between 690 and 2070 kPa, above atmospheric, was recorded. The procedure was repeated 5 times.

The above procedure was repeated using the test item in place of the nitric acid.

Conclusion

The test item was determined not to have oxidising properties as the mean pressure rise time for the test item/cellulose mixtures was greater than the mean pressure rise time for the nitric acid/cellulose mixtures.

Description of key information
