Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The explosive properties of the substance were investigated in small scale preliminary tests according to EU A.14 method. The substance proved to be less sensiive to shock and friction than m-dinitrobenzene and not explosive under influence of flame.
