Any other information on results incl. tables

Grinding, sieving and drying of the test item, barium nitrate and cellulose

The cellulose was dried by treating the sample at 105 °C +/- 5 °C until the weight was constant. Due to the particle size of the cellulose grinding and sieving was not necessary.

The barium nitrate was ground, sieved < 0.12 mm and dried by treating the sample at 105 °C +/- 5 °C until the weight was constant.

The test item was ground, sieved < 0.12 mm and dried by treating the sample at 105 °C +/- 5 °C until the weight was

constant.

Preliminary test

Three test mixtures with the test item and cellulose 2:1 burned only for approximately 20s. Afterewards the flames extinguished. Subsequently the cones glowed for more than 15 min.

Three test mixtures with barium nitrate/cellulose 2:1 burned down completely in 58 s, 60 s and 63 s, respectively. Due to the results of the preliminary test the main test had to be performed.

Main test

Four tests were performed for the reference mixture (barium nitrate and cellulose) with 50, 55, 60 and 70 wt. % oxidizer (barium nitrate). The results are shown in Table 1:

Table 1

Barium nitrate [ wt. %]	Burning time over 200 mm [s]	Burning rate [mm/s]
50	130	1.54
55	127	1.57
60	113	1.77
70	168	1.19

The highest burning rate of 1.77 mm/s was found for the mixture with 60 wt. % oxidizer.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The mixture of the test item with cellulose showed a lower burning rate than the reference mixture. Therefore, the test item has not to be classified as oxidizing solid according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
