Results and discussion

Test results (Oxidising gases)
Key result
Parameter:
other: oxidising properties
Remarks on result:
other: The substance itself does not burn, but in contact with combustible substances it increases the risk of fire and can fuel any existing fire substantially.
Remarks:
Like oxygen, nitrous oxide maintains a fire involving combustible material like wood or sulfur.
