Results and discussion

Test results (Oxidising solids)

Sample tested:

other: Oxidizing properties determined based on the structure, oxygen balance and experience

Remarks on result:

other: No oxidizing properties are expected

Any other information on results incl. tables

The substance does not have the functional groups associated with oxidizing activity. T002019 has never demonstrated such activity under normal handling.

Furthermore, the oxygen balance of T002019 is negative. This means, that there is a surplus on carbon atoms.

Therefore, it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that T002019 is incapable of causing fire or enhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on an expert statement, T002019 is considered incapable of causing fire or enhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material and should therefore not be classified as oxidizing solid.
