Administrative data

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

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Geranyl Formate is incapable of causing fire or enhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material.
Executive summary:

From the structural formulae of the constituents of Geranyl Formate, 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 and hydrogen atoms only.

Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that Geranyl Formate is incapable of causing fire or enhance the risk of fire when in contact with combustible material. As such no further testing is required.
