Test objective
The objective of the test is to determine the oxidizing properties of a liquid test item.
Principle
The test item is mixed in a 1 to 1 ratio by weight with dried fibrous cellulose and introduced into a pressure vessel. If during mixing or filling spontaneous ignition occurs no further testing is necessary and the test item will be considered as an oxidizer. If no spontaneous ignition occurs, the mixture is heated in a pressure vessel and the mean time taken for the pressure to rise from 690 to 2070 kPa above atmospheric pressure
is determined. This is compared with the mean pressure rise time for a 1 to 1 mixture of the 66% w/w aqueous nitric acid solution and dried fibrous cellulose.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Justification for type of information:
REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE CATEGORY APPROACH
Registered substance (as identified in Section 1.1 identification) has similar chemical structure as the others members of the Category "Amino Acid Alkyl Amides, Sodium or
Potassium Salts" (the source chemicals).

The category “Amino Acid Alkyl Amides, Sodium or Potassium Salts” has been developed and evaluated to cover the assessment of the intrinsic properties of several similar
substances within the context of REACH Regulation. The Category includes sodium or potassium salts of amino acid alkyl amides, with a carbon chain length range of C6-C16 and an
aminoacidic pool of not selected aminoacids reflecting the natural distributions of aminoacids in various vegetables and cereals.


1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE CATEGORY APPROACH (ENDPOINT LEVEL)
The Category has been built up considering the common chemical structure of its members. They are UVCB substances and they share the following features:
- they are salts of amino acid alkyl amides
- they are sodium or potassium salts
- the carbon chain length ranges between C6 and C16
- the carbon chain derives from cocoyl or lauroyl fatty acids
- the aminoacidic part of the molecules comes from a pool of aminoacids
- the aminoacids pool reflects the natural distributions of aminoacids in various vegetables and cereals.

Overall, the Category was formed on the hypothesis that substances sharing this common chemical structure can be considered analogues and can share intrinsic properties too. No
trends in properties is expected, except for those physicochemical properties depending on the carbon chain length.

2. CATEGORY APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
These substances share (i) eye damage and (ii) the absence of significant systemic toxicity.

Remarks on result:
other: No oxidizing properties.
Remarks:
The registered substance is not considered to have oxidizing properties.
Conclusions:
Find below the oxidising properties result obtained for one similar substance (a comparable value is expected):

- The test item [similar substance 2] was not considered to have oxidizing properties in our experimental conditions.

The weight of evidence can be applied as the substances are very similar.
The registered substance is not considered to have oxidizing properties.
Executive summary:

The category “Amino Acid Alkyl Amides, Sodium or Potassium Salts” was formed on the hypothesis that substances sharing common chemical structure can be considered analogues and can share intrinsic properties too.

Based on this assumption, this property may be assessed using available data  for the category members.

The category has been assessed for members characterized by:

- sodium or potassium salts

- the carbon chain length ranges between C6 and C16

- the aminoacids pool reflects the natural distributions of aminoacids in various vegetables and cereals.
