Trisodium dihydrogen -N,N-[bis[2-[bis(carboxylatomethyl)amino]ethyl]]glycinate

Explosiveness

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties

Justification for type of information:

Specific adaptation for Annex VII standard information requirement 7.11 column 2.

Qualifier:

no guideline available

Principles of method if other than guideline:

According to the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods explosive properties are associated with the presence of certain chemical groups in a molecule which can react to produce a very rapid increase in temperature or pressure. Thus, it is possible to examine the chemical structure of a substance and ascertain whether or not there are any groups present that are associated with explosive properties. For this purpose a list of screening procedures has been published in Appendix 6 of the United Nations ‘Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria’.

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

From an examination of the chemical structure of the test item, it was concluded that it contained no functional groups which are characteristic of explosive properties.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

From the assessment of the chemical structure it was established that the test item,
Chelest PC-45, would not have explosive properties.

Description of key information

From the assessment of the chemical structure it was established that the test substance would not have explosive properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
