Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to EEC method A14.


The test substance was subjected to friction sensitivity, mechanical sensitivity (shock), and thermal sensitivity tests to determine its explosive properties.


BAM Friction test: The test substance is not classified as explosive in terms of its sensitivity to friction.


BAM Fallhammer test: The test substance is not classified as explosive in terms of its mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock.


Koenen steel tube test: No explosions were observed using the 6 mm or 2 mm orifice plates. The test substance is not classified as explosive in terms of its thermal sensitivity.


The test substance did not give a positive result in tests used to determine its sensitivity to friction, shock or heating under confinement, and is therefore not classified as an explosive.

Description of key information

EU Method A.14

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Substance was not explosive in a test according to EU Method A.14; therefore, no classification is required according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
