Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Justification for type of information:

In accordance with column 2, point 7.11 of Annex VII of the Regulation EC 1907/2006 testing for this endpoint does not need to be performed if there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties in the molecule. The structure of the substance has been considered below:

-Method:
The explosive properties were predicted using Method A.14 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

-Procedure:
The structure of the test material was assessed for chemical groups that imply explosive properties. Examples of such groups are C-C unsaturated, C-metal, N-metal, contiguous oxygen atoms, contiguous nitrogen atoms, N-halogens, O-halogens, N-O. Examples of these groups are given below.
Structural Features / Examples
C-C unsaturated / Acetylenes, acetylides, 1,2 dienes
C-metal, N-metal / Grignard reagents, organo-lithium compounds
Contiguous oxygen atoms / Peroxides, ozonides
Contiguous nitrogen atoms / Azides, aliphatic azo compounds, diazonium salts, hydrazines, sulphonyl hydrazides
N-halogens / Chloramines, fluoroamines
O-halogens / Chlorates, perchlorates, iodosyl compounds
N-O / Hydroxylamines, nitrates, nitro compounds, N oxides, 1,2-oxazoles
Full structural details are given in Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 4th Edition, Butterworths, London, 1990.

-Conclusion:
Based on the chemical structure of the test material the result for the explosive properties has been predicted to be negative.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the screening criteria in section 2.1.4.3 of Regulation EC 1272/2008 and section 3.3 (Table A6.1) of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria (5th revised edition), analysis of the chemical structure of the substance concluded that the substance is not explosive. Therefore the substance is not classified as explosive in accordance with Annex I of Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP).
