Classification of substances according to transport regulations (GGVS/ADR)

Due to our cooperation in the relevant international expert teams we are specialized in the classification of your substances according to ChemG and transport guidelines (GGVS/ADR). The required test devices are available in our physio-chemical laboratory.

Ref. Objective (CTS) Amount of substance
  Penetrometer test (determining fluidity) (UN/VbF) 500 g
Class 1 "Explosion properties"
Basic test according to chemicals law / explosives law (ChemG / SprengstoffG) for explosion properties:
  • Mechanical sensitivity (friction test) (6-12 tests)
  • Mechanical sensitivity (impact test / BAM) (6-12 tests)
  • Thermal sensitivity (Koenen test) ( 3-6 tests)
350 ml
Class 3 "Flammable liquids"
Flash point (triple determination according to the guidelines) 250 ml
Sustained combustibility test (UN Test L.2) 50 ml
Class 4.1
"Readily combustible solids"
Test for readily combustible solids (UN Test N.1) (6 determinations) 200 g
"Self-reactive substances"
Propagation of detonation (UN Test A.1) 1000 g
Time pressure test (UN Test C.1) 200 g
Deflagration test (UN Test C.2) 300 g
Dutch pressure test (UN Test E.2) 100 g
Self Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT)
(UN Test H.2) Compared to the H.4 test, this test leads to more reliable results and to heat production rates, which are important for evaluating the hazard potential of the substance
200 g
SADT (UN-Test H.4) 500-1500 g
Class 4.2 "Self heating substances"
Basic test in a 1l wire mesh basket 1100 ml
Pyrophoric properties (UN Test N.4) 50 g
Class 4.3
"Evaluation of flammable gases in contact with water" (ChemG / UN Test N.5) 50 g
Class 5.1
Tests for oxidizing solids (UN Test O.1): Screening test 50 g
Tests for oxidizing solids (UN Test O.1): Complete test 500 g
Test for oxidizing liquids (UN Test O.2)
