Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Parameter:
sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
Value:
360
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks on result:
not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks:
Drop height 40 cm
Remarks on result:
other: substance is not explosive when subjected to shock
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not explosive in terms of EC Guideline A 14.
Executive summary:

The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A.14 'Explosive Properties'. The mechanical sensitivity was carried out by the drop weight test, the friction-mill test and the thermal stability by the steel cartridge test. The substance was neither sensitive to shock, impact and friction or was explosive when heated under defined confinement. Therefore, the substance has no potential for explosivity; and hence no classification according to GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A.14 'Explosive Properties'. The mechanical sensitivity was carried out by the drop weight test, the friction-mill test and the thermal stability by the steel cartridge test. The substance was neither sensitive to shock, impact and friction or was explosive when heated under defined confinement. Therefore, the substance has no potential for explosivity; and hence no classification according to GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
