Description of key information

The sample of test item was found to have a mean pressure rise time greater than that observed for the nitric acid reference sample. The sample is therefore not considered to be an oxidising liquid (EU Method A.21).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

GUIDELINE

The test is conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A.21.

 

METHODS

The test is designed to determine the potential for a liquid substance to increase the burning rate or burning intensity of a combustible substance when the two are thoroughly mixed, or to form a mixture which spontaneously ignites. The test method measures the pressure rise time during deflagration. The test liquid is mixed in a 1:1 ratio (by mass) with fibrous cellulose and the mixture heated in a pressure vessel to evaluate the rate of pressure rise. The results are compared with data obtained in the same equipment for a mixture of cellulose with a known, characterised oxidant.

 

RESULTS

The sample of test item was found to have a mean pressure rise time greater than that observed for the nitric acid reference sample. The sample is therefore not considered to be an oxidising liquid.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Experimental evidence has shown the liquid test material to be non-oxidising and classification is not required under the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
