553

This mixture of hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid shall, in laboratory testing (see

Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part II, section 20), neither detonate in the cavitated state nor

deflagrate at all and shall show no effect when heated under confinement nor any explosive

power. The formulation shall be thermally stable (self-accelerating decomposition temperature

60 °C or higher for a 50 kg package), and a liquid compatible with peroxyacetic acid shall be

used for desensitization. Formulations not meeting these criteria are to be regarded as

substances of Class 5.2 (see Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part II, paragraph 20.4.3(g)).
