Remarks on result:

other: expert statement

The authors certify that, according to the manual of decisions, the substance does not contain:

- electronegative atoms which are present constitute a high proportion of the molecule and are bond to elements in a high oxidation state;

- electronegative atoms bonded to each other or to other electronegative elements such as iodine, nitrogen, sulphur or phosphorus.

Furthermore, the substance also does not contain one or more of following groups: acetylenic, metal acetylenic, diazirine, diazo, nitroso, nitro, acyl or alkyl nitrite or nitrate, epoxide, triazene, peroxide, azide, chlorate, perchlorate.

Furthermore, the oxygen balance estimated for the idealized C18-carbon acid diamide is around -300 and therefore considered according to the manual of decisions as a "structure with a very low Oxygen Balance (less than minus 100) indicates a low tendency for explosivity".

In conclusion the authors state that the substance does not possess oxidising or explosive properties. In the light of these facts further testing in respect to these properties is not required.

Endpoint:

oxidising solids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

The substance is not oxidising

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:

non oxidising

Additional information

The study does not need to be conducted as the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of the chemical structure: the substance is organic and does contain oxygen atoms, but the oxygen is not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen. So, based on chemical structure the substance is not oxidizing.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on oxidising properties of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: Based on the chemical structure the substance is not oxidising.
