Reference

Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Type of information:

other: Expert statement

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

Study completion date - 11 July 2006.

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Expert statement

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The explosive properties of FAT 40827/A were estimated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999) where a set of criteria is compiled to identify materials being potential explosives

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Name: FAT 40827/A

Parameter:

other: Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy

Remarks on result:

other: The presence of azo groups and unsaturated C-C linkage seems to pose no risk as demonstrated by the calorimetric test.

Based on item 3 as outlined above, FAT 40827/A is not to be classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed.

The presence of azo groups and unsaturated C-C linkage seems to pose no risk as demonstrated by the calorimetric test.

Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt, that FAT 40827/A is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release. Nevertheless, this  judgement is in respect to classification; it does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be discounted.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

FAT 40827/A is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release. Nevertheless, this  judgement is in respect to classification; it does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be discounted.

Executive summary:

The explosive properties of FAT 40827/A were estimated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999) where a set of criteria is compiled to identify materials being potential explosives.

Additional information

The explosive properties of FAT 40827/A were estimated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999) where a set of criteria is compiled to identify materials being potential explosives. Based on item 3 as outlined above, FAT 40827/A is not to be classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed. The presence of azo groups and unsaturated C-C linkage seems to pose no risk as demonstrated by the calorimetric test. Thus, it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt, that FAT 40827/A is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release. Nevertheless, this  judgement is in respect to classification; it does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be discounted.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on expert judgement built on chemical structure assessment and handling experience, the substance is not subject to classification for explosivity according to CLP (Regulation EC No 1272/2008)
