No determination of the burning time/rate possible.

No signs of oxidizing properties were observed.

The burning rate in all cases was found to be lower than the highest burning rate of the reference substance mixtures. From this follows that the determination of burning rate should be repeated a further five times for these three mixture-ratios of test substance/cellulose which showed the highest burning rates.

3 Results

The highest burning rate of the three mixtures test substance/cellulose was determined to 3.68 mm/s. The maximum burning rate of the reference substance was determined to 3.53 mm/s. These results indicate that the test substance shows oxidising properties which are incoherent to and thus in contrast to the observations made within the conduct of the study. In detail, in contrast to the numerical results, oxidising properties of the test substance were not clearly observable e.g. as sparks or cracks etc. Therefore and in order to verify the observations or the measurement results, the critical mixture ratio of 10% test substance was additionally tested for oxidising properties in an inert atmosphere (under argon). During the verification test under argon, the mixture with 10% test substance did not ignite at all. Therefore, a determination of the burning rate was not possible and no further tests were necessary. The test substance can classified as being not oxidising under the test conditions.

Interpretation of results:
other: not oxidising
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained with the test substance/cellulose mixture 10/90 under argon atmosphere, the test item is considered to have no oxidising properties.
Executive summary:

The oxidising properties of 1-Benzyl-3-carbamoyl-pyridinium, chloride were determined according to EU Method A.17 "Oxidising Properties (Solids)".

In a first step a pre-test was performed with a test substance-cellulose-ratio of 2:1. The mixture for the preliminary test burned with a strong sooting flame, but without observable dangerous reactions (e. g. sparking). As the preliminary test did not clearly indicate whether the test substance has oxidizing properties, the main test was performed.

The main test was conducted using different mixtures of test substance:cellulose containing 10% to 90 % (w/w) of the test substance in 10 % increments. Likewise, mixtures of Ba(N03)2 as reference substance and cellulose were prepared containing 50 %, 60 % and 70 % (w/w) of the reference substance. The different mixtures were arranged in piles and a Teclu burner was applied to one end of each pile. The reaction time was measured over a distance of 200 mm using a stop watch after the flame had propagated an initial distance of 30 mm. This test was repeated five times, each, for those three test substance/cellulose mixture-ratios, which resulted in the highest burning rates.

The highest burning rate overall with test substance was determined to 3.68 mm/s with the 10 %-mixture (w/w) while the maximum burning rate with reference substance was determined to 3.53 mm/s. These results indicate that the test substance shows oxidising properties which are incoherent to and thus are in contrast to the visual observations made within the conduct of the study. In detail, in contrast to the numerical results, oxidising properties of the test substance were not clearly observable e.g. as sparks or cracks etc. In order to prevent a potential false positive result, the critical mixture was subjected to the additional test of oxidising properties in an inert atmosphere (argon). As no ignition occurred in the inert atmosphere and a determination of a burning rate was thus not possible, 1-Benzyl-3-carbamoyl-pyridinium, chloride is considered to have no oxidising properties.

Description of key information

The oxidising properties of 1-Benzyl-3-carbamoyl-pyridinium, chloride were determined according to EU Method A.17 "Oxidising Properties (Solids)".

In a first step a pre-test was performed which, however, did not clearly indicate whether the test substance has oxidizing properties. Thus, the main test was performed using different mixtures of test substance:cellulose containing 10% to 90 % (w/w) of the test substance in 10 % increments. Likewise, mixtures of Ba(N03)2 as reference substance and cellulose were prepared containing 50 %, 60 % and 70 % (w/w) of the reference substance.

The highest burning rate overall with test substance was determined to 3.68 mm/s with the 10 %-mixture (w/w) while the maximum burning rate with reference substance was determined to 3.53 mm/s. These results indicate that the test substance shows oxidising properties which are incoherent to and thus are in contrast to the visual observations made within the conduct of the study. In detail, in contrast to the numerical results, oxidising properties of the test substance were not clearly observable e.g. as sparks or cracks etc.

In order to prevent a potential false positive result, the critical mixture was subjected to the additional test of oxidising properties in an inert atmosphere (argon). As no ignition occurred in the inert atmosphere and a determination of a burning rate was thus not possible, 1-Benzyl-3-carbamoyl-pyridinium, chloride is considered to have no oxidising properties.
