Oxidising properties
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Remarks:
- Examination of the chemical structure
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- from 2010-01-04 to 2010-04-21
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.21 (Oxidising Properties (Liquids))
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex VIII REACH, the test for oxidising properties need not be performed if:
examination of the structural formula of the constituents establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with a combustible material. - GLP compliance:
- yes
- Key result
- Sample tested:
- other: not specific
- Parameter:
- preliminary test
- Result:
- -163 other: The oxygen balance
- Remarks on result:
- other: Due to the negative oxygen balance and the structure, oxidizing properties of the test substance are unlikely.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test substance does not contain any structural features suggesting oxidizing properties. Therefore oxidizing properties of the test substance are unlikely.
- Executive summary:
For organic substances, the oxygen balance (OB) combined with an examination of the chemical structure were used as a criterion of predicting oxidising properties.
The calculated oxygen balance is -15 of the main constituent (3-Hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropionaldehyde) of the test substance. The test substance has a deficiency of oxygen, the balance is negative.
The main constituent (3-Hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropionaldehyde) of the test substance contains six oxygen atoms which are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen.
Due to the negative oxygen balance and the structure, oxidizing properties of the test substance are unlikely.
Reference
The test substance contains three oxygen
atoms which are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen.
The oxygen balance is -163.
Description of key information
Oxidising Properties (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex VIII REACH). The test substance does not contain any structural features suggesting oxidizing properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising
Additional information
According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex VIII REACH, the test for oxidising properties need not be performed if: examination of the structural formula establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with a combustible material.
The main constituent (3-Hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropionaldehyde) of the test substance contains six oxygen atoms which are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen.
The test substance does not contain any structural features suggesting oxidizing properties. Therefore oxidizing properties of the test substance are unlikely.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test substance contains six oxygen atoms which are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen.
The test substance does not contain any structural features suggesting oxidizing properties. Therefore oxidizing properties of the test substance are unlikely.
