Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising properties, other
- Type of information:
- other: Expert assessment
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2016
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the functionality within the substance
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the functionality within the substance, to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Sample tested:
- other: not applicable
- Parameter:
- other: An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the functionality within the substance, to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour.
- Remarks on result:
- other: see 'other information on results'
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that glutaric acid does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
- Executive summary:
An expert assessment was performed based on an examination of the functionality within the substance. The raw materials used to manufacture the substance do not contain any halogens, nitrogen, or metals, and these elements are not present in the substance itself. Glutaric acid contains oxygen, however it is chemically bonded to hydrogen and/or carbon and therefore does not significantly contribute to the oxidising potential of the substance. In addition, glutaric acid does not meet the criteria for classification as an oxidising solid, see Section 2.14.4.1 of the CLP regulation.
It is concluded that glutaric acid does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Reference
An evaluation of the functionality within the substance has been performed to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour. Typical oxidising agents contain functional groups such as halide-oxygen groups, nitrogen-oxygen groups and some metal-oxygen complexes. The raw materials used to manufacture the substance do not contain any halogens, nitrogen, or metals, and these elements are not present in the substance itself. Glutaric acid contains oxygen, however it is chemically bonded to hydrogen and/or carbon and therefore does not significantly contribute to the oxidising potential of the substance. In addition, glutaric acid does not meet the criteria for classification as an oxidising solid, see Section 2.14.4.1 of the CLP regulation.
It is concluded that glutaric acid does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Description of key information
An expert assessment was performed to determine the oxidising properties of the substance. It is concluded that glutaric acid does not have oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising

Justification for classification or non-classification
An evaluation of the functionality within the substance has been performed to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour. The raw materials used to manufacture the substance do not contain any halogens, nitrogen, or metals, and these elements are not present in the substance itself. Glutaric acid contains oxygen, however it is chemically bonded to hydrogen and/or carbon and therefore does not significantly contribute to the oxidising potential of the substance. In addition, glutaric acid does not meet the criteria for classification as an oxidising solid.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
