Key result
Parameter:
other: structural formula
Remarks on result:
other: based on expert statement
Remarks:
no chemical groups associated with explosive properties were observed. Additionally, oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups

Examination of the structural formula for the sample indicates:

- There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties

- The oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups - it is bound in a C-O-C group which does not possess explosive behaviour.

Based on this combination of factors, it is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties. There are no elements of the screening procedure which begin to suggest that explosive properties may be exhibited by the substance. The conduct of the A14 tests is therefore not considered appropriate.

The substance is concluded not to be explosive as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. In addition, the oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is concluded not to be explosive as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. In addition, the oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups.

Description of key information

The test substance was concluded to not have explosive properties following a theoretical assessment in a GLP study according to test method EC A.14 (statement)(Younis S, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

BAEE needs not to be classified as explosive as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
