Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP complaint, guideline study, available as unpublished report acceptable without restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: BAM Fall Hammer test for shock (Test 3 (a)(ii); BAM friction test (Test 3(b)(i), Koenen test for thermal sensitivity (2(b)) as per Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, 5th Revised Edition 2009
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Koenen test specifies for teting to be started using orifice plate of 20mm and if no explosion occurs, the diameter of the orifice to be reduced in a series of single trials to minimum diameter of 1mm. Limited amount of test item modified procedure
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Parameter:
other: More sensitive to shock than m-dinitrobenzene
Remarks:
migrated information
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Remarks:
No explosions were observed up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock
Parameter:
other: More sensitive to friction than m-dinitrobenzene
Remarks:
migrated information
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Remarks:
No explosions were observed using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test
Parameter:
other: Explosive under influence of flame
Remarks:
migrated information
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Remarks:
no explosions were observed using the minimum orifice diameter of 1mm and the result is considered negative (the test item showed no effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity
Conclusions:
No explosions were observed up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J, and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock; no explosions were observed using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test;no explosions were observed using the minimum orifice diameter of 1mm, and the result is considered negative (the test item showed no effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity.
Executive summary:

This is a GLP compliant, guideline study which is considered suitable for use for this endpoint.

No explosions were observed for Tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J, and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock; no explosions were observed for Tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test; no explosions were observed for Tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride using the minimum orifice diameter of 1mm, and the result is considered negative (the test item showed no effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity.

Description of key information

No explosions were observed for tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J, and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock; no explosions were observed for tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test; no explosions were observed for tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride using the minimum orifice diameter of 1mm, and the result is considered negative (the test item showed no effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Atwal and Tremain (2011) is a GLP compliant, guideline study which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint.

No explosions were observed for tetraamminepalladium(2+)dichloride up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J, and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock; no explosions were observed for tetraamminepalladium(2+)dichloride using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test; no explosions were observed for tetraamminepalladium(2+)dichloride using the minimum orifice diameter of 1mm, and the result is considered negative (the test item showed no effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on a GLP-compliant, guideline experimental study tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride is not classified for explosive properties.
