Definitions and general provisions
Class 5.2 - Organic peroxides Properties
Organic peroxides are liable to exothermic decomposition at normal or elevated temperatures. The decom-position can be initiated by heat, contact with impurities (such as acids, heavy-metal compounds, amines), friction or impact. The rate of decomposition increases with temperature and varies with the organic peroxide formulation. Decomposition may result in the evolution of harmful, or flammable, gases or vapours. For certain organic peroxides the temperature shall be controlled during transport. Some organic peroxides may decompose explosively, particularly if confined. This characteristic may be modified by the addition of diluents or by the use of appropriate packagings. Many organic peroxides burn vigorously.
Contact of organic peroxides with tile eyes is to be avoided. Some organic peroxides will cause serious injury to the cornea, even after brief contact, or will be corrosive to the skin.
Classification of organic peroxides
Any organic peroxide shall be considered for classification in class 5.2, unless the organic peroxide formulation contains:
.1 not more than 1.0% available oxygen from the organic peroxides when containing not more than 1.0%
hydrogen peroxide; or
.2 not more than 0.5% available oxygen from the organic peroxides when containing more than 1.0% but not more than 7.0% hydrogen peroxide.
Note: The available oxygen content (%) of an organic peroxide formulation is given by the formula:
16 x 2:.(n, x c;/m,) where
n, number of peroxygen groups per molecule of organic peroxide i;
c, concentration (mass %) of organic peroxide i;
m; molecular mass of organic peroxide i.
Organic peroxides are classified into seven types according to the degree of danger they present. The types of organic peroxide range from type A, which may not be accepted for transport in the packaging in which it is tested, to type G, which is not subject to the provisions for organic peroxides of class 5.2. The classification of types B to F is directly related to the maximum quantity allowed in one packaging.
Organic peroxides permitted for transport in packagings are listed in 2.5.3.2.4, those permitted for transport in IBCs are listed in packing instruction IBC520 and those permitted for transport in portable tanks are listed in portable tank instruction T23. For each permitted substance listed, the generic entry of the Dangerous Goods List (UN 3101 to UN 3120) is assigned, appropriate subsidiary risks and remarks providing relevant transport information are given. The generic entries specify:
.1 organic peroxide type (B to F);
.2 physical state (liquid or solid); and
.3 temperature control, when required (see 2.5.3.4).
2.5.3.2.3.1 Mixtures of the listed formulations may be classified as the same type of organic peroxide as that of the most dangerous component and be transported under the conditions of transport given for this type. However, as two stable components can form a thermally less stable mixture, the self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) of the mixture shall be determined and, if necessary, temperature control applied as required by 2.5.3.4.

Part 2 - Classification
2.5.3.2.5 Classification of organic peroxides not listed in 2.5.3.2.4, packing instruction IBC520 or portable tank instruction T23 and assignment to a generic entry shall be made by the competent authority of the country of origin on the basis of a test report Principles applying to the classification of such substances are provided in 2.5.3.3. Test methods and criteria and an example of a report are given in the current edition of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria, part II. The statement of approval shall contain the classification and the relevant transport conditions (see 5.4.4.1.3).
2.5.3.2.5.1 Samples of new organic peroxides or new formulations of currently assigned organic peroxides for which complete test data are not available and which are to be transported for further testing or evaluation may be assigned to one of the appropriate entries for ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE C provided the following conditions are met:
2.5.3.3
2.5.3.3.1
2.5.3.3.2
76
.1 the available data indicate that the sample would be no more dangerous than ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE B;
.2 the sample is packaged in accordance with packing method OP2 and the quantity per cargo transport unit is limited to 10 kg; and
.3 the available data indicate that the control temperature, if any, is sufficiently low to prevent any dangerous decomposition and sufficiently high to prevent any dangerous phase separation.
Principles for classification of organic peroxides
Note: This section refers only to those properties of organic peroxides which are decisive for their classification. A flow chart, presenting the classification principles in the form of a graphically arranged scheme of questions concerning the decisive properties together with the possible answers, is given in Figure 2.2(a) in chapter 2.5 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. These properties shall be determined experimentally. SUitable test methods with pertinent evaluation criteria are given in the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria, part II.
Any organic peroxide formulation shall be regarded as possessing explosive properties when, in laboratory testing, the formulation is liable to detonate, to deflagrate rapidly or to show a violent effect when heated under confinement
The following principles apply to the classification of organic peroxide formulations not listed in 2.5.3.2.4:
.1 Any organic peroxide formulation which can detonate or deflagrate rapidly, as packaged for transport, is prohibited from transport in that packaging under class 5.2 (defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE A);
.2 Any organic peroxide formulation possessing explosive properties and which, as packaged for transport, neither detonates nor deflagrates rapidly, but is liable to undergo a thermal explosion in that package, shall bear an "EXPLOSIVE" subsidiary risk label (Model No.1, see 5.2.2.2.2). Such an organic peroxide may be packaged in amounts of up to 25 kg unless the maximum quantity has to be limited to a lower amount to preclude detonation or rapid deflagration in the package (defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE B);
.3 Any organic peroxide formulation possessing explosive properties may be transported without an
"EXPLOSIVE" subsidiary risk label when the substance as packaged (maximum 50 kg) for transport cannot detonate or deflagrate rapidly or undergo a thermal explosion (defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE C);
.4 Any organic peroxide formulation which in laboratory testing:
.1 detonates partially, does not deflagrate rapidly and shows no violent effect when heated under confinement; or
2 does not detonate at all, deflagrates slowly and shows no violent effect when heated under confinement; or
.3 does not detonate or deflagrate at all and shows a medium effect when heated under confinement is acceptable for transport in packages of not more than 50 kg net mass (defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE D);
.5 Any organic peroxide formulation which, in laboratory testing, neither detonates nor deflagrates at all and shows low or no effect when heated under confinement is acceptable for transport in packages of not more than 400 kg/450
e
(defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE E);.6 Any organic peroxide formulation which, in laboratory testing, neither detonates in the cavitated state nor deflagrates at all and shows only a low or no effect when heated under confinement as well as low or no explosive power may be considered for transport in IBCs or tanks (defined as ORGANIC PEROXIDE TYPE F); for additional provisions see 4.1.7 and 4.2.1.13;
.7 Any organic peroxide formulation which, in laboratory testing, neither detonates in the cavitated state nor deflagrates at all and shows no effect when heated under confinement nor any explosive power shall be
