Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1990-08-15 to 1990-12-131
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Parameter:
thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
Remarks on result:
not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
Key result
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J

1. thermal sensitivity:

The substance burns under the appearance of flames in all experiments.

 

2. mechanical sensitivity:

None of the 6 impact tests resulted in an explosion or ignition.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance has no explosive properties.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.14 to determine the explosive properties of the test item. For the test of thermal sensitivity, the test item was filled 60 mm high into the steel sleeve. The steel sleeve was closed with a nozzle plate with 2 mm or 6 mm nozzle opening. The test was performed three times with each of the selected nozzle plates. For the test of mechanical sensitivity (shock) the substance was poured into the sample chamber formed by steel cylinders and hollow cylinders. The test was performed six times with a drop weight of 10 kg and 0,4 m drop height. The substance is not thermal sensitive when heated under defined confinement and is not sensitive to impact using impact energy of 40 J. Thus, it was concluded that the substance has no explosive properties.

Description of key information

No explosive properties (reference 4.14 -1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

Based on the chemical structure and taking into account the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EC) 2019/521, the substance is not considered to be classified for explosiveness.
