The molecular structure of the test substance consists of no reactive groups that indicate a rapid decomposition. Besides, the test substance deliquesced when it was brought to the air for several minutes due to its hygroscopic behaviour.
Furthermore, it has been tested in a flammability test and was considered to be not highly flammable after flame ignition and it did not react violently.
Therefore no indication of any explosive properties is given.

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Conclusions:
According to the expert statement, the test substance did not present any explosive properties.
Executive summary:

An expert statement evaluated the explosiveness of the test substance, C12-16 ADBAC (94.4% active) based on EU Method A.14. The molecular structure of the substance consisted of no reactive groups that indicate a rapid decomposition. In addition, the test substance deliquesced when it was brought to the air for several minutes, due to its hygroscopic behaviour. Furthermore, it has been tested in a flammability test and was considered to be not highly flammable after flame ignition and it did not react violently. According to the expert statement, the test substance did not present any explosive properties (Schulze, 2007).

Description of key information

The explosiveness was evaluated in an expert statement based on EU Method A.14 (Schulze, 2007)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The molecular structure of the substance consisted of no reactive groups that indicate a rapid decomposition. In addition, the test substance deliquesced when it was brought to the air for several minutes, due to its hygroscopic behaviour. Furthermore, it has been tested in a flammability test and was considered to be not highly flammable after flame ignition and it did not react violently. According to the expert statement, the test substance did not present any explosive properties.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the structure, the test substance does not warrant a classification for explosivity according to EU CLP criteria (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
