- Key result
- Sample tested:
- 1:1 sample-to-cellulose ratio
- Parameter:
- preliminary test
- Result:
- 239 s
- Sample tested:
- other: 2:1, test substance/ cellulose ratio
- Parameter:
- preliminary test
- Result:
- 310 s
- Sample tested:
- other: 1:2, Test substance/ Cellulose Ratio
- Parameter:
- preliminary test
- Result:

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- As none of the test substance/cellulose mixtures burned to completion, the test substance was considered to be non-oxidising.
- Executive summary:
The substance to be tested and a defined combustible substance, cellulose, are mixed in various ratios. Each mixture is formed into a pile and ignited at one end. The maximum burning rate determined is compared with the maximum burning rate of the reference mixture of cellulose and barium nitrate.A substance is considered as possessing oxidising properties when the maximum burning rate of the test mixtures is higher than, or equal to, the maximum burning rate of the reference mixture.
The test substance, cellulose and barium nitrate used as a reference were dried and sieved (125 gm) prior to use.
The dried test substance (2 parts) was thoroughly mixed with dried cellulose (1 part) and formed into a cone shaped pile of dimensions 3.5 cm (diameter of base) x 2.5 cm (height). The cone, on a noncombustible, non-porous surface was ignited with a gas burner. The vigour and duration of the combustion were observed, recorded and compared with that of a similarly prepared cone consisting of 3 parts of barium nitrate to 2 parts of cellulose.
As the sample cone failed to burn to completion, cones consisting of test substance (1 part) and cellulose (1 and 2 parts) were prepared and tested.
The barium nitrate reference burned vigorously to completion in 35 seconds.
The following observations were noted for each of the test substance samples:
Test Substance/Cellulose Ratio Duration of Combustion (seconds) Observation 2:1 310 Burned with yellow flame, but not to completion 1:1 239 Burned with yellow flame, but not to completion 1:2 155 Burned with yellow flame, but not to c As none of the test substance/cellulose mixtures burned to completion, the test substance was considered to be non-oxidising
Reference
Test Substance/Cellulose Ratio | Duration of Combustion (seconds) | Observation |
2:1 | 310 | Burned with yellow flame, but not to completion |
1:1 | 239 | Burned with yellow flame, but not to completion |
1:2 | 155 | Burned with yellow flame, but not to c |
Description of key information

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
