Endpoint:
oxidising solids

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance has been determined not to have oxidising properties as the test substance mixtures with cellulose failed to propagate combustion at a rate greater than that of the reference mixture.
Executive summary:

The test substance has been determined not to have oxidising properties as the test substance mixtures with cellulose failed to propagate combustion at a rate greater than that of the reference mixtures.

Description of key information

The test substance has been determined not to have oxidising properties as the test substance mixtures with cellulose failed to propagate combustion at a rate greater than that of the reference mixtures.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
non oxidising

Additional information

The test substance has been determined not to have oxidising properties based on its structure an a preliminary test with a close structural analogue which - mixtured with cellulose - failed to propagate combustion at a rate greater than that of the reference mixtures.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the information and review of the substance, it ihas no oxidising properties.

Therefore, the substance is not classified as oxidising.
