Parameter:
other: exothermic decomposition energy
Value:
81.19
Remarks on result:
other: one exothermic peak between 210 and 280 °C with an energy release of 81.19 J/g. As a result, energy release is far below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Screening evaluation

Analysis of the molecular structure for ACID BLUE 090 revealed, that no such chemical alert structures are present in the molecule. Calculation of the oxygen balance according to the above mentioned formula is -216.13 and therefore lower than the trigger value of -200.

Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy

The curve displayed one exothermic peak between 210 and 280 °C with an energy release of 81.19 J/g. This peak is considered to represent substance decomposition energy. As a result, energy release is far below a critical trigger

level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Acid Blue 090 is considered to be non-explosive.
Executive summary:

Explosive properties associated with ACID BLUE 090 were assessed using the screening procedure as described in:

- CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3

- Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria

- Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3

Analysis of the chemical structure revealed no alerts for explosive properties. The calculated chemical oxygen balance was below the trigger value of -200, and the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy

demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Additional information

Explosive properties associated with ACID BLUE 090 were assessed using the screening procedure as described in:

- CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3

- Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria

- Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3

Analysis of the chemical structure revealed no alerts for explosive properties. The calculated chemical oxygen balance was below the trigger value of -200, and the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy

demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acid Blue 090 is considered to be not explosive and hence it does not warrant the classification as per the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
