not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks:
migrated information
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:

The test item is not thermally sensitive, not shock sensitive and not sensitive to friction. Therefore, the test item has not to be classified as explosive material.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the Explosive Properties of FAT 40810/A. The determination of the Explosive Properties of FAT 40810/A was performed in accordance  with the EC Council Directive 92/69/EEC, Annex V, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico­ chemical properties, A. 14: "Explosive Properties", Official Journal of the European  Communities, No. L 383 A/87, December 29, 1992. The method comprises of three parts viz Thermal sensitivity. Mechanical sensitivity (shock), Mechanical sensitivity (friction). Based on the findings of the study, the test item is not thermally sensitive, not shock sensitive and not sensitive to friction.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the negative outcome of a test for explosivity, the substance is not subject to classification for explosive properties according to CLP (Regulation EC No 1272/2008) or DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC).
