Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

CORROSITEX test: The test item is separate d by a biological from a solution containing a chemical detection system which provides a visual change when the test item permeate sthrough the barrier. The permeation time is measued and used to classify teh test substance into UN Packin Groups.

GLP compliance:

no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In order to determine the UN package group, N,N-dimethyl-n-butylamine was subjected to the CORROSITEX test where the time until permeation though a biological membrane is determined. The package group is then defined according to the following table:

 

Designation of UN Packing Groups

 

		Corrositex Time (minutes)
Category 1		0 to 3 min.	>3 to 60 min.	>60 to 240 min.	>240 min.
Category 2		0 to 3 min.	>3 to 30 min.	>30 to 60 min.	>60 min.
	Packing Group I		Packing Group II	Packing Group III	Noncorrosive

 

With N,N-dimethyl-n-butylamine the mean Corrositex time was 61.95 ± 0.04 minutes. As this substance belongs to Category 1 (strong bases and acids; Category 2: weak bases and acids), the substance was designated the UN Packing Group III (Tang, 2002).

 

It should be mentioned that the new GHS classification (Cat IA) determines the proper transportation rules.
