Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item FAT 40842/A TE is an organic compound which contains oxygen. Therefore the second criterion of the Orange Book has to be applied. The oxygen is chemically bonded to nitrogen. In absence of other criteria this finding would lead to the recommendation for experimental testing or a comparison with a structural analogue.

structural analogue: the critical subunit of FAT 40842/A TE with regard to oxidizing properties is Nitrobenzene (CAS No: 98-95-3), which is not classified to have oxidizing properties.

Additionally, it can be stated that the oxygen balance of FAT 40842/A TE is negative as calculated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. In principle this means, that there is a surplus of carbon atoms for a complete reaction according to the following reaction scheme:

CxHyOz + [x + (y/4) – (z/2)] · O2 → x · CO2 + (y/2) · H2O

where CxHyOz is the test item.

Oxygen Balance of FAT 40842/A TE = -198.7 only with CHO = -243.2

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Applying the internationally recognized UN Recommendation criteria and further criteria as published in several official documents, FAT 40842lA TE is found to be non-oxidizing and therefore is not to be tested experimentally for the classification under division 5.1 as oxidizing substances.
Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that FAT 40842lA TE is not capable of causing fire or enhancing the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.

Executive summary:

The test item FAT 40842/A TE is an organic compound which contains oxygen. Therefore the second criterion of the Orange Book has to be applied. The oxygen is chemically bonded to nitrogen. In absence of other criteria this finding would lead to the recommendation for experimental testing.

Finally, the critical subunit of FAT 40842/A TE with regard to oxidizing properties is Nitrobenzene (CAS No: 98-95-3), which is not classified to have oxidizing properties.

Additionally, it can be stated that the oxygen balance of FAT 40842/A TE is negative as calculated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. In principle this means, that there is a surplus of carbon atoms for a complete reaction according to the following reaction scheme:

CxHyOz + [x + (y/4) – (z/2)] · O2 → x · CO2 + (y/2) · H2O

where CxHyOz is the test item.

Oxygen Balance of FAT 40842/A TE = -198.7 only with CHO = -243.2
