oxidising solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
06 December - 19 December, 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.17 (Oxidising Properties (Solids))
Version / remarks:
31 May, 2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Contact with:
powdered cellulose
Key result
Sample tested:
test mixture as specified
Remarks:
Oxidiser cellulose-mixtures containing 10 to 90 % weight of oxidiser in 10 % increments were prepared.
Parameter:
burning time of reaction over a distance of 200 mm
Remarks on result:
mixture does not ignite and burn

The cone-shaped pile formed during the Preliminary Test could not be ignited therefore the Main Test was performed.The maximum burning rate of the test item in different mixtures was found to be lower than the burning rate of the reference mixture in the Main Test. Yellow 22 is not considered as an oxidizing substance.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Yellow 22 is not considered as an oxidizing substance.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the oxidizing properties of the test item.

The maximum burning rate of the test item in different mixtures was found to be lower than the burning rate of the reference mixture in the Main Test. Yellow 22 is not considered as an oxidizing substance.
