Division 2.15.2.3 Criteria for temperature control

The following organic peroxides need to be subjected to temperature control:

1. (a)

   Organic peroxide types B and C with an SADT ≤ 50 C;

2. (b)

   Organic peroxide type D showing a medium effect when heated under confinement^f1 with an SADT ≤ 50 ^oC or showing a low or no effect when heated under confinement with an SADT ≤ 45 ^oC; and

3. (c)

   Organic peroxide types E and F with an SADT ≤ 45 ^oC.

Test methods for determining the SADT as well as the derivation of control and emergency temperatures are given in the F1UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part II, section 28. The test selected shall be conducted in a manner which is representative, both in size and material, of the package.
