this class, according to <strong>the</strong> following principles:<br />

(a) Any organic peroxide which, as packaged, can detonate or deflagrate<br />

rapidly will be defined as organic peroxide TYPE A;<br />

(b) Any organic peroxide possessing explosive properties and which, as<br />

packaged, nei<strong>the</strong>r detonates nor deflagrates rapidly, but is liable to<br />

undergo a <strong>the</strong>rmal explosion in that package will be defined as organic<br />

peroxide TYPE B;<br />

(c) Any organic peroxide possessing explosive properties when <strong>the</strong> substance<br />

or mixture as packaged cannot detonate or deflagrate rapidly or undergo<br />

a <strong>the</strong>rmal explosion will be defined as organic peroxide TYPE C;<br />

(d) Any organic peroxide which in laboratory testing:<br />

(i) detonates partially, does not deflagrate rapidly and shows no violent effect when<br />

heated under confinement; or<br />

(ii) does not detonate at all, deflagrates slowly and shows no violent effect when<br />

heated under confinement; or<br />

(iii) does not detonate or deflagrate at all and shows a medium effect when heated<br />

under confinement;<br />

will be defined as organic peroxide TYPE D;<br />

(e) Any organic peroxide which, in laboratory testing, nei<strong>the</strong>r detonates nor<br />

deflagrates at all and shows low or no effect when heated under<br />

confinement w ill be defined as organic peroxide TYPE E;<br />

(f) Any organic peroxide which, in laboratory testing, nei<strong>the</strong>r detonates in<br />

<strong>the</strong> cavitated state nor deflagrates at all and shows only a low or no effect<br />

when heated under confinement as well as low or no explosive power w ill<br />

be defined as organic peroxide TYPE F;<br />

(g) Any organic peroxide which, in laboratory testing, nei<strong>the</strong>r detonates in<br />

<strong>the</strong> cavitated state nor deflagrates at all and show s no effect when<br />

heated under confinement nor any explosive power, provided that it is<br />

<strong>the</strong>rmally stable (self-accelerating decomposition temperature is 60°C or<br />

higher <strong>for</strong> a 50 kg package), and, <strong>for</strong> liquid desensitization, will be<br />

defined as organic peroxide TYPE G. If <strong>the</strong> organic peroxide<br />

desensitization, it shall be defined as organic peroxide TYPE F.<br />

NOTE 1: Type G has no hazard communication elements assigned but should be considered <strong>for</strong><br />

properties belonging to o<strong>the</strong>r hazard classes.<br />

NOTE 2: Types A to G may not be necessary <strong>for</strong> all systems.<br />

2.15.2.3 Criteria <strong>for</strong> temperature control<br />

The following organic peroxides need to be subjected to temperature control:<br />
