THERMAL SENSITIVITY (HEAT) - KOENEN TEST

Orifice Diameter [mm]	Mass of Sample [g]	Time to First Ignition [s]	Results (Explosion, Fragment, Deformations)
6	28.8	90	none
6	28.8	108	none
6	28.8	107	none
2	28.8	110	none
2	28.8	119	none
2	28.8	128	none

The sample did not exhibit an explosion during any of the tests. The test result is therefore considered Negative.

MECHANICAL SENSITIVITY (SHOCK)

mass of drop hammer: 10 kg

dropping height: 40 cm

In each test from 1 to 6 the result was negative, no explosion occured during the test.

MECHANICAL SENSITIVITY (FRICTION)

Loading: 360 N

In each test from 1 to 6 the result was negative, no explosion occured during the test.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test item is not thermally sensitive, not shock sensitive and not sensitive to friction.

Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

supporting study

Reliability:

4 (not assignable)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: The test is performed according to EC guideline with some small deviations. However, there is no information on purity of the substance.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to other study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

1)The weight of the falling hammer is 5 kg and dropped from 0.8 m, however, the energy applied is the same as guideline, 40 J or 40 Nm.

GLP compliance:

not specified

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): 4-nitrobenzenesulfonylchloride

Parameter:

sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)

Remarks on result:

negative (not further specified)

Remarks:

For the BAM falling hammer test, the substance is considered to present an explosion hazard in the sense of the EC directive, if an explosion (bursting into flame and/or a report is equivalent to explosion) occurs at least once in six tests.

RESULT: 6 times negative (sensitivity >39.2)

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance is not shock sensitive.

Description of key information

From a key study (K1, Younis, 2017) according to the EC A.14 guideline it could be concluded that the test item is not thermally sensitive, not shock sensitive and not sensitive to friction and therefore should not be considered an explosive substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Additional information

A supporting study (K4, PSC, 2006) confirms that the test item is not shock sensitive.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item is not thermally sensitive, not shock sensitive and not sensitive to friction according to the EC A.14 guideline and therefore should not be considered an explosive substance.
