guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Version / remarks:
OJ No. L383A, 29.12.92
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch No.: 960509
Purity: 92.3%
Parameter:
thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
Remarks on result:
not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
Parameter:
sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item does not possess explosive properties.
Executive summary:

A Koenen test apparatus was used for the determination of sensitivity to heat (flame), a fall hammer for the determination of sensitivity to shock and a friction test apparatus for the determination of sensitivity to friction as described by EC A14.

Thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame): no explosion was observed and there was no deformation to any of the tubes. Mechanical sensitivity (shock and friction): no visible or audible reaction was recorded.

Therefore, the test item does not possess explosive properties.

Description of key information
