Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Explosiveness
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosiveness
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Start date: 02/04/2013 Completion date: 30/04/2013
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study conducted in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of relevant results.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: Examination of the structural formula
- Remarks on result:
- other: not anticipated to possess explosive properties
- Interpretation of results:
- non explosive
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- The test material does not pose any functional groups which would be associated with explosive properties and therefore it can be concluded that the test substance does would not be explosive.
- Executive summary:
Experimental techniques are available for the classification of a substance or preparation as explosive. These are described in EC Test A14. However, according to the OECD testing methods publication, test A14 need not be carried out when examination of the structural formula establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance has no explosive properties (i.e. it is not capable of rapid gas or heat release).
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 -297 which is below the criteria for consideration (-200).
Based on this combination of factors, it is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties. There are 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.
