Executive summary:

The determination of the Explosive Properties of RED RWa 4565 was performed in accordance with the EC Council Directive 92/69/EEC, Annex V, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A. 14: "Explosive Properties", Official Journal of the European Communities, No. L 383 N87, December 29,1992.

THERMAL SENSITIVITY

In two cases a deformation of the steel tubes was observed. The test item is not thermally sensitive.

MECHANICAL SENSITIVITY (SHOCK)

The test item is not shock sensitive.

MECHANICAL SENSITIVITY (FRICTION)

The test item is not sensitive to friction.

It was found that; RED RWa 4565 is not considered an explosive, as concluded from the test results on: Thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame), Mechanical sensitivity (shock) and Mechanical sensitivity (friction)
