Results:

1) BAM Fallhammer Test:

10 kg weight; 40 cm drop height;

Test 1:

No signs of ignition or explosion on impact. When the test assemblies were dismantled there were no signs of decomposition.

Test 2:

No signs of ignition or explosion on impact. When the test assemblies were dismantled there were no signs of decomposition.

Test 3:

No signs of ignition or explosion on impact. When the test assemblies were dismantled there were no signs of decomposition.

Test 4:

No signs of ignition or explosion on impact. When the test assemblies were dismantled there were no signs of decomposition.

Test 5:

No signs of ignition or explosion on impact. When the test assemblies were dismantled there were no signs of decomposition.

Test 6:

No signs of ignition or explosion on impact. When the test assemblies were dismantled there were no signs of decomposition.

2) BAM Friction Test:

Weight 9 - 36 kg of load;

Position VI;

Test 1:

No signs of ignition or explosion during friction, but possible slight decomposition as indicated by dark mark on porcelain plate.

Test 2:

No signs of ignition or explosion during friction, but possible slight decomposition as indicated by dark mark on porcelain plate.

Test 3:

No signs of ignition or explosion during friction, but possible slight decomposition as indicated by dark mark on porcelain plate.

Test 4:

No signs of ignition or explosion during friction, but possible slight decomposition as indicated by dark mark on porcelain plate.

Test 5:

No signs of ignition or explosion during friction, but possible slight decomposition as indicated by dark mark on porcelain plate.

Test 6:

No signs of ignition or explosion during friction, but possible slight decomposition as indicated by dark mark on porcelain plate.

t1 = time from application of flame to noticeable effect from nozzle;
t2 = time from t1 to recorded event (eg. explosion) or, as in all trials here, to end of trial with no recorded effect;

Conclusions:
D-8 was tested for explosive properties according to EU Test guideline A.14. In none of the three performed tests, D-8 showed any sign of explosive properties. D-8 was not classified and labelled as explosive, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

D-8 was tested for explosive properties according to EU Test guideline A.14 in the three following tests:

1) Shock of a falling load (BAM Fallhammer Test)

2) Friction (BAM Friction Test)

3) Heating under confinement (KOENEN Test)

Each test was performed six times

In none of the three performed tests, D-8 showed any sign of explosive properties.

Description of key information

D-8 was tested for explosive properties according to EU Test guideline A.14. D-8 did not reveal explosive properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

D-8 was tested for explosive properties according to EU Test guideline A.14 in the three following tests:

1) Shock of a falling load (BAM Fallhammer Test)

2) Friction (BAM Friction Test)

3) Heating under confinement (KOENEN Test)

Each test was performed six times

In none of the three performed tests, D-8 showed any sign of explosive properties.

Justification for classification or non-classification

D-8 was tested for explosive properties according to EU Test guideline A.14. In none of the three performed tests, D-8 showed any sign of explosive properties. D-8 was not classified and labelled for explosive properties, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EC) No 2019/521.
