Explosiveness

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
explosiveness
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
April 2015
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: In the REACH guidance on QSARs R.6, Mai 2008, the explosiveness can be estimated by QSAR if the absence of certain structural alerts are relevant.
Justification for type of information:
From structural formula of the test item it can be concluded that the substance has no explosive potential. The substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
