Reference

Endpoint:

oxidising liquids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
From the structural formulae of the constituents of test item, it can be concluded that the substance is not an oxidising substance. The substance does not have the functional groups associated with oxidising properties. The oxygen present in the molecule is linked to carbon atoms / carbon and hydrogen atoms only. Therefore the test item does not possess any oxidising properties.

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Oxidising substances are substances, while themselves not necessarily combustible, may, generally by yielding oxygen, cause, or contribute to the combustion of other material. While test methods exist, testing is not necessary if:
(1) the substance is explosive, or
(2) the substance is highly flammable, or
(3) the substance is an organic peroxide, or
(4) the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, for example on the basis of the chemical structure (e.g. organic substances not containing oxygen or halogen atoms and these elements are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen, or inorganic substances not containing oxygen or halogen atoms).

From the structural formulae of the constituents of test item, it can be concluded that the substance is not an oxidising substance. The substance does not have the functional groups associated with oxidising properties. The oxygen present in the molecule is linked to carbon atoms / carbon and hydrogen atoms only.

The result of the structure-based assessment is in line with the fact that during the safety tests conducted in our laboratories (flash point determination, auto-ignition temperature determination, thermal stability tests with differential scanning calorimetry, etc.) no oxidising properties were observed.

Therefore, it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that test item is incapable of causing fire or enhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material. As such further testing is not needed.

Description of key information

No potential for oxidising properties (waived).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:

non oxidising

Additional information

Rules for adaptation of the standard information requirement for explosive properties, test item was evaluated for the presence of the chemical groups associated with the oxidising properties by the experts and a statement has been provided.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not have the functional groups associated with explosive properties or chemical instability. Therefore, it is devoid of any oxidising properties.
