Description of key information
Lithium nitrate does contain chemical groups (nitrogen chemically bound with oxygen) that are associated with explosive properties. But it is not considered to be explosive because of experiences in handling and use of the substance by the registrant. Further, lithium nitrate is listed in "Transported Dangerous Goods of the UN" where it is not classified regarding explosive properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Lithium nitrate is named in the Dangerous Goods List of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. It is classified as hazard class 5.1 (oxidising substance), PG III. Transported substances should be tested for explosiveness and classified accordingly (Class 1). Lithium nitrate is only classified as oxidising substance. It was concluded that lithium nitrate has no explosive properties and is therefore not classified "explosive".
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
According to the available data regarding
handling and use of the client and the UN list of the Transported
Dangerous Goods, lithium nitrate is not classified and labelled as
"explosive" according Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for
the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
