Organic peroxide subclass 5.2 category F (equivalent to UN Type F)A substance is classified as organic peroxide subclass 5.2 category F if:i. the substance is listed in the UN Model Regulations as having a classification or division of anorganic peroxide (classification division 5.2) and is designated as Type F; orii.the substance is an organic peroxide and does not propagate a detonation as defined in UN TestSeries A and does not propagate a deflagration as defined in UN Test Series C and displays low orno effect when heated under confinement as defined in UN Test Series E and, when tested for bulkcontainers, displays no explosive power as defined in UN Test Series F and displays a low effectwhen heated under confinement as defined in UN Test Series E; oriii.the substance is an organic peroxide and does not propagate a detonation as defined in UN TestSeries A and does not propagate a deflagration as defined in UN Test Series C and displays low orno effect when heated under confinement as defined in UN Test Series E and is intended to bestored or transported in bulk and displays low explosive power as defined UN Test Series F; oriv.the substance is an organic peroxide and does not propagate a detonation as defined in UN TestSeries A and does not propagate a deflagration as defined in UN Test Series C and displays noeffect when heated under confinement as defined in UN Test Series E including when it is assessedfor bulk containers and it has no explosive power as defined in UN Test Series F and has either anSADT less than 60°C or a 50 kg quantity of the substance or, if the substance is a mixture thatJanuary 2012 EPA0109
