Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to the EC A.21 guideline, a liquid substance is to be considered as an oxidizer when:

- a 1:1 mixture, by mass, of the substance and cellulose spontaneously ignites; or

- a 1:1 mixture, by mass, of the substance and cellulose exhibits a mean pressure rise time less than or equal to the mean pressure rise time of a 1:1 mixture, by mass, of 65% (w/w) aqueous nitric acid and cellulose.

 

Examination of the structure of the test substance establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of showing a positive result in the test described in the EC A.21 guideline. The substance does not contain any group that might act as an oxidizing agent. The oxygen atom that is present in the chemical is bonded to carbon or phosphor, which indicates that the molecule is oxygen-deficient.
