Oxidising properties

Administrative data

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 the organic substance contains oxygen or halogen atoms which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

 The test item F-Diox Acid is an organic compound which contains oxygen and fluorine. Therefore the second criterion of the Orange Book has to be applied. F-Diox Acid contains oxygen and fluorine and these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon. Therefore the classification procedure using experimental testing does not need to be applied.

Furthermore, the occurrence of chemical groups associated with oxiding properties as described in the Reach Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment- Chapter R7a was considered. None of those groups are present in the molecule.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

F- Diox Acid salt does not contain functional groups and elements that are known to confer oxidising properties.
It can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that F- Diox Acid is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

Executive summary:

The oxidizing properties for F-Diox Acid was evaluated according to the procedure described in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fourth revised edition, 2003, Appendix 6, “Orange Book”)where a set of criteria is compiled to evaluate the need for classification of materials as oxidizing substances.

F- Diox Acid does not contain functional groups and elements that are known to confer oxidising properties,according to the list table reportedin the ReachGuidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment- Chapter R7a.

Furthermore, applying the internationally recognized UN Recommendation criteria, F- Diox Potassium salt is found to be non-oxidizing.

Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that F- Dios Acid is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

According to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, F- Diox Acid would indicate the following:

Classification: not required

Signal word: none indicated

Hazard statement: none indicated
