Description of key information
Nitric acid does not contain any chemical groups indicating explosive properties and is therefore not considered explosive.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Based on column 2 of the REACH regulation on standard information requirements (Annex VII), the study does not need to be conducted if there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. Considering the chemical structure of the substance and taking Appendix 6 of UN recommendations for the use of screening procedures to assess explosive properties and the ECHA Endpoint specific guidance (R.7a) into consideration, Nitric acid is considered not to contain any chemical groups indication explosive properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Nitric acid does not contain any chemical groups indicating explosive properties and is therefore not considered explosive.
