other: Not applicable

Remarks on result:

not measured/tested

Remarks:

Structural assessment only.

Structural Assessment

An examination of the structure of the test material reveals that it contains an electronegative atom (O), but this is bonded only to carbon and hydrogen, and therefore, is unlikely to add to the oxidising power. The structural examination of the test material suggests it is not likely to possess oxidising properties.

 

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The structural examination suggests that the test material is not likely to possess oxidising properties.

Executive summary:

A substance which possesses oxidising properties is capable of reacting exothermically with a combustible material. An assessment of the structure gives an indication of the likelihood of the substance possessing oxidising properties.

A substance may not have oxidising properties when the substance or mixture does not contain oxygen, fluorine or chlorine or when the substance or mixture contains oxygen, fluorine or chlorine and these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, Section 7.13, does not need to be conducted if the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of its chemical structure. Based on the structural formula, the substance does not have functional groups associated with oxidising properties.
