Principles of method if other than guideline:

Expert judgment based on the screening procedure as described in:
- CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3
- Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria
- Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Test Material: FAT 40045 - Reactive Blue 072

Key result

Parameter:

other: Presence of chemical structures associated with explosive properties

Remarks on result:

other: No chemical alert structures for explosive properties being present in the molecule

Key result

Parameter:

other: Oxygen Balance

Value:

-59.14

Remarks on result:

other: Higher than the trigger value of -200.

Key result

Parameter:

other: Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy

Remarks on result:

other: No exothermic peaks up to 350 °C with no exothermic energy release. Energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g

Screening evaluation:

analysis of the chemical structure reveals no chemical alert structures for explosive properties being present in the molecule. The calculated chemical oxygen balance is above the trigger value of -200, but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g.

 

Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy:

The curve displays no exothermic peaks up to 350 °C with no exothermic energy release. As a result, energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is judged to harvest no explosive properties.

Executive summary:

Analysis of the chemical structure reveals no chemical alert structures for explosive properties being present in the molecule. The calculated chemical oxygen balance is above the trigger value of -200, but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore, the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Justification for classification or non-classification

Reactive Blue 072 is judged to be not explosive, hence it does not warrant classification as per the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
