(b) have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower
flammable limits.
Note.—The flammability shall be determined by tests or by calculation in accordance with
methods adopted by International Standards Organization (ISO: 10156: 1996) or by Bureau of

(b)Organic peroxides:
Organic substances which contain the bivalent-0-0- structure and may be considered derivative of
hydrogen peroxide, where one or both of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic
radials. Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances which may undergo exothermic self-
accelerating decomposition. In addition, they may have one or more of the following properties,—

(ii) burn rapidly;
(iii)be sensitive to impact or friction;
(iv)react dangerously with other substances;

2.LD50coetaneousinratsorrabbits
3.LC50byinhalation(fourhours) inrats.
(G)Radioactive:
Radio active materials mean any material containing radio nuclide where both the activity
concentration and the total activity in the consignment exceed the values specified, depending on
the type of material by the Atomic Energy Commission of India.
