Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Remarks:
Evaluation of structure and oxygen balanace calculation
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18 May 2015
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Evaluation based on chemical structure and oxygen balance
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the propensity of the test item to be explosive based on the chemical structure, and associated oxygen balance.
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
other: ISO 9001
Specific details on test material used for the study:
No further information required due to the study being undertaken is an assessment of chemical structure & oxygen balance.
Key result
Parameter:
other: Evaluation of chemical structure & oxygen balnace
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Substances that are explosive contain molecular groups which have explosive properties. Examples include:
• Nitro compounds
• Nitric Esters
• Nitramines
• Derivatives of chloric and perchloric acids
• Azides
• Acetylides
• Fulminates
• Ozinides
• Peroxides
• Nitrogen rich compounds – e.g.tetrazene.

SH-0850 has no structural alerts for explosivity therefore it is concluded that the test item is not potentially explosive.

Based on the oxygen balance value (-139.21), SH-0850 could be deemed to be potentially explosive, however the lack of structural alerts indicates that there is no concern for explosivity associated with this substance.
Executive summary:

Substances that are explosive contain molecular groups which have explosive properties. Examples include:

• Nitro compounds

• Nitric Esters

• Nitramines

• Derivatives of chloric and perchloric acids

• Azides

• Acetylides

• Fulminates

• Ozinides

• Peroxides

• Nitrogen rich compounds – e.g.tetrazene.

 

SH-0850 has no structural alerts for explosivity therefore it is concluded that the test item is not potentially explosive.

 

Based on the oxygen balance value (-139.21), SH-0850 could be deemed to be potentially explosive, however the lack of structural alerts indicates that there is no concern for explosivity associated with this substance.

 

The regulatory position (specifically the MEP Order No. 7 - "China REACH" and EC Regulation No. 1907/2006 on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals - "REACH") with regards to explosivity is that a study does not need to be conducted if:

– there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule; or

– the test item contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties which include oxygen and the calculated oxygen balance is less than –200; or

– the organic test item or a homogenous mixture of organic test items contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties, but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500 ºC

Description of key information

Based on the oxygen balance value (-139.21), SH-0850 could be deemed to be potentially explosive, however the lack of structural alerts indicates that there is no concern for explosivity associated with this substance.
