Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Division 1.6 (extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard) based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- DMBC does not explode under the effect of a flame and is not sensitive to shock. Therefore DMBC has no explosive properties in the sense of the EC Directive.
- Executive summary:
DMBC does not explode under the effect of a flame and is not sensitive to shock. Therefore DMBC has no explosive properties in the sense of the EC Directive. The study was carried out in accordance with EEC Method A14.
