Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosiveness, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EPA OPPTS 830.6316 (Explodability)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: OECD 113 (Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Parameter:
- other: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
- Remarks on result:
- other: The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item had no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A. 14. and in the sense of the EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP 830.6316.
- Executive summary:
The explosive properties of the test item was determined according to: European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.14. Explosive properties and OECD test guideline, OECD 113 Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air and US EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP 830.6316 (1996), Explodability.
As a screening method for the determination of explosive properties a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen was performed.
If the decomposition energy is below 500 J/g or the onset of exothermal decomposition starts above 500 °C a main test for explosive properties is unnecessary (Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods / Manual of Tests and Criteria (ST/SG/AC.10/11, Rev.6, 2015, p. 488). This is only valid for organic substances and homogeneous mixtures of organic substances.
The test item and the reference were heated up from ambient to the final temperature at a constant heating rate (3 K/min) in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Closed crucibles are used as containers for the test item and the reference. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded.
The test item had no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A. 14. and in the sense of the EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP 830.6316.
