Organic peroxide subclass 5.2 category G (equivalent to UN Type G)A substance is classified as organic peroxide subclass 5.2 category G if the substance is an organicperoxide and does not propagate a detonation as defined in UN Test Series A and does not propagate adeflagration as defined in UN Test Series C and displays no effect when heated under confinement asdefined in UN Test Series E, including when it is assessed for bulk containers, and it has no explosivepower as defined in UN Test Series F and has an SADT greater than or equal to 60°C, and, if theJanuary 2012 EPA0109
