In all tests with the test item and Cellulose in the ratio 4:1 the mixture decomposed flameless very slowly over the complete pile.

In all tests with the test item and Cellulose in the ratio 1:1 the mixture decomposed with a yellowish flame very slowly over the complete pile.

The mean burning times of the test item-to-Cellulose ratio 4.1 and 1:1 are significantly greater than the mean burning time of a 3:7 mixture of Potassium bromate and Cellulose.

UN-Transport regulations

The product has not to be classified as oxidizing solid in Division 5.1 according to the UN-Transport Regulations.

GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation)

The product has not to be classified as oxidizing solid according to GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation) Annex 1: 2.14.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
UN-Transport regulations
Tricobalt tetraoxide has not to be classified as oxidizing solid in Division 5.1 according to the UN-Transport Regulations.

GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation)
Tricobalt tetraoxide has not to be classified as oxidizing solid according to GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Regulation) Annex 1: 2.14.

Description of key information

The mean burning times of the test item-to-cellulose ratio 4.1 and 1:1 are significantly greater than the mean burning time of a 3:7 mixture of potassium bromate and cellulose.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising
