Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance is very sensitive to impact (0.025 J) and friction (1 N), sensitive to electrostatic discharge (0.0625 J) and elevated temperature (>60°C).
Executive summary:

In this study, the sensitivity of the test substance linked to explosive properties (impact, friction, electrostatic discharge, thermal stability) was investigated. Based on the results, tetracene has to be regarded as very sensitive to impact (0.025 J) and friction (1 N), sensitive to electrostatic discharge (0.0625 J) and elevated temperature (>60°C).
