Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
The test substance does not show a potential for explosiveness based on the structural formula and on the Oxygen Balance, therefore no test was conducted.
A report exists (DyStar Colours Distribution GmbH, 1999*) which tested the substance for impact sensitivity and dust explosibility according to "Test Methods for the Determination of the Safety Characteristic of Dust, VDI 2263, 1990." A short abstract of the tests performed is available. It is known that these tests conducted better address the purpose of the ATEX Directive. The substance resulted non-sensitive to impact in the impact sensitivity test. In the dust explosibility test, at 200 g/m3, no ignition was observed while at 500 g/m3 and 1000 g/m3, the test substance resulted dust explosible with an induction spark. The indication concerning the ATEX Directive would be to avoid the presence of such dust clouds at the work place and does not refer to the intrinsic property of the test substance. Thus, this report is cited here for information and not used for classification according to the REACH regulation.
* DyStar Colours Distribution GmbH, Report no. 99/00058, Title: Dust Screening Test of Dianix Red AC-E 01 (Trace 1)
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation, EC n. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 2, subsection 2.1.1.2, which states that: "An explosive substance or mixture is a solid or liquid substance or mixture of substances which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. Pyrotechnic substances are included even when they do not evolve gases."
Based on the structural formula and on the Oxygen Balance, the substance is considered to be Not Explosive
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
