Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test material has been determined not to have explosive properties.

Executive summary:

The explosive properties were determined using Method A14 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

 

The test material was subjected to the following:

1) The BAM fall hammer test which is a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock.

2) The Koenen steel tube test which is a test of thermal sensitivity.

The BAM friction test which is not applicable to liquids, was not performed.

 

The test material has been determined not to have explosive properties.

Description of key information
