Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
other: Structural assessment
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Not specified.
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A structural assessment and oxygen balance calculation were performed to inform on whether the test material could potentially be explosive.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
No laboratory work was conducted, therefore GLP compliance is not required.
Key result
Test series:
other: Structural assessment and oxygen balance calculation
Method:
other: Structural assessment and oxygen balance calculation
Parameter:
other: Structural assessment
Remarks on result:
other: Based on the information and review of the test material, it is deemed not to be potentially explosive.

Structural group evaluation

None of the structural groups discussed were present. 

Oxygen Balance (OB) Calculator

Oxygen Balance (%) = -188.27. 

Potentially explosive based on OB greater than -200? Yes. 

Although the substance has an oxygen balance of < -200, the chemical structure contains no alerts for explosive potential. On this basis, the substance is predicted to be not explosive. 

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified according to EU criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the chemical structure evaluation, the substance is deemed not to be potentially explosive.
Executive summary:

The regulatory position with regards to explosivity is that a study does not need to be conducted if there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule; or the substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties which include oxygen and the calculated oxygen balance is less than -200. Although the substance has an oxygen balance of < -200, the chemical structure contains no alerts for explosive potential. Based on the chemical structure evaluation, the substance is deemed to be not explosive. 

Description of key information

Based on the chemical structure evaluation, the substance is deemed to be not explosive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The regulatory position with regards to explosivity is that a study does not need to be conducted if there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule; or the substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties which include oxygen and the calculated oxygen balance is less than -200. Although the substance has an oxygen balance of < -200, the chemical structure contains no alerts for explosive potential. Based on the chemical structure evaluation, the substance is deemed to be not explosive.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to explosive properties.
