Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Substance is suitable for IMDG code class 8, packaging group III.
Executive summary:

In a corrosion test according to a UN protocol, the corrosion rate of aluminium in the presence of the substance was a maximum of 0.03mm/yr, which is well inside the maximum acceptable rate of 6.25mm/yr for packaging group III.
