Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Batch n°: 4M408
- Analytical purity: 98.7%

Sample tested:

other: not applicable

Parameter:

other: not applicable

Remarks on result:

not measured/tested

Remarks:

On the basis of this exercise, the material should be considered as not oxidising and should not be subjected to experimental testing. The material meets all criteria for exemption from testing and has a structure not at all conducive with that required to exhibit oxidising tendencies.

Examining the structural formula, the following observations can be made:

- The molecule does not contain any functional groups such as organic nitro compounds, N-halogen compounds (N-X), oxohalogen compounds or interhalogen compounds

- The proportion of electronegative atoms in the molecule is low (2 oxygen atoms out of an overall atom count of 26). Both oxygen atoms are bound to carbon atoms.

- The electronegative atoms are not bound to one another, nor to any other electronegative elements.

Assessment against the above criteria indicates strongly that the molecule will not have oxidising properties.

In every respect of the oxidising liquids exemption procedure, the substance does not show any evidence of possessing oxidising properties.

On the basis of this exercise, the material should be considered as not oxidising and should not be subjected to experimental testing. The material meets all criteria for exemption from testing and has a structure not at all conducive with that required to exhibit oxidising tendencies.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is concluded not to have oxidising properties. The substance meets all criteria for exemption from testing and has a structure not at all conducive with that required to exhibit oxidising tendencies.
