Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- other: Expert statement
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- 2014
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Expert statement following the UN Appendix 6 Screening procedures
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Expert statement.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: 1102/2014 - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- There were 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.
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
Referenceopen allclose all
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 CO groups which do not possess explosive behaviour. The oxygen balance is -263.
Based on this combination of factors, it is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties.
Description of key information
The substance was concluded to be non-explosive based on its chemical structure in an Expert Statement (Dekra, 2014).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The structure of the substance contains no groups that would infer explosive properties. This results in no classification under CLP regulation.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
