Friction test:

Vanilline has been determined to have friction sensitivity to explosion with 360N and none with 120N.

However, as the company has good knowledge of this product and never could mind that it presents a danger of explosion, the company has decided to ask a confirmation to INERIS, the competent national organization in the domain of the statements of explosive substances.

INERIS concludes that Vanilline is not sensitive mechanically to friction test, according to the method CE14.

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

In a study to determine explosion properties of Vanilline (CRTL, 2008), the shock test, the friction test, the thermal sensitivity test were performed according to the EC guideline A14.

The 3 tests were negative. The friction test showed an ambiguous response, and the negativity of the test was confirmed by INERIS.

According to the EC A14 criteria, Vanilline has no shock sensitivity, no friction sensitivity and no thermal sensitivity.

To conclude Vanilline has no explosive properties.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Non explosif
Executive summary:

Friction sensitivity tests according to the CE A.14 method on the product of extra pure RHOVANIL (Vanillin) have been carried out (INERIS, 2008). A series of 6 tests with a load of 360 N was made. If an explosion occurs during this series, another series of six tests with a load of 120 N must be performed. The result of the test is considered positive if an explosion occurs at least once during six tests with the friction device.
Under the conditions of the test, no explosion occurred. Vanillin therefore has no explosive properties according to the friction test, according to the guideline CE A14.

Description of key information

According to the EC A14 criteria, Vanilline has no shock sensitivity, no friction sensitivity and no thermal sensitivity.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Two studies were available and were selected as key studies. The second study confirm the negative result which was ambiguous in the first one.
