In all tests with the test item and Cellulose in the ratio 4:1 the mixture decomposed flameless very slowly over the complete pile.

In all tests with the test item and Cellulose in the ratio 1:1 the mixture decomposed with a yellowish flame very slowly over the complete pile.

The mean burning times of the test item-to-Cellulose ratio 4.1 and 1:1 are significantly greater than the mean burning time of a 3:7 mixture of Potassium bromate and Cellulose.

UN-Transport regulations

The product has not to be classified as oxidizing solid in Division 5.1 according to the UN-Transport Regulations.

GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation)

The product has not to be classified as oxidizing solid according to GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation) Annex 1: 2.14.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
UN-Transport regulations
Tricobalt tetraoxide has not to be classified as oxidizing solid in Division 5.1 according to the UN-Transport Regulations.

GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation)
Tricobalt tetraoxide has not to be classified as oxidizing solid according to GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation) Annex 1: 2.14.
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 substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials

Description of key information

Cobalt hydroxide oxide has no oxidising properties, it is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VII, Section 7.13, Column 2,the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials.

A test on the oxidising properties according to transport regulation UN-Test O.1 was recently conducted for tricobalt tetraoxide in which cobalt is present in the oxidation state (+II and +III) and a high oxygen to cobalt ratio of 1.3, yielding a result of “not oxidising”. Upon heating cobalt hydroxide oxide is transformed to tricobalt tetraoxide under evolution of water, thus cobalt hydroxide oxide is assumed to have similar or lower oxidising potential than tricobalt tetraoxide. Further testing is not required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Cobalt hydroxide oxide does not need to be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 since oxidising properties are considered non-relevant.
