BAM Fallhammer - Test Results

 

Test Procedure: The sample was placed in the impact device and the 10 kg weight dropped from a height of 40 cm which is equivalent to 40 J. If an "explosion" was observed, the impact energy was reduced to 7.5 J and further tests conducted.

*‘Y’ denotes an explosion (includes crackling, sparking, inflammation). ‘X’ denotes no reaction or decomposition (change in colour).

 

The sample of Waterline Cl, (D-Glucose, reaction products with nitric acid and sodium nitrite

(1:1), sodium salts) was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J. The test result is therefore considered Negative (-) (according to the EC Classification, Packaging & Labelling of Dangerous Substances in the European Union Part 2, Testing Methods, Jan 97).

*‘Y’ denotes 3 or more fragments. ‘X’ denotes fewer than 3 fragments.

 

The sample did not exhibit an explosion during any of the tests. The test result is therefore considered Negative.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Two separate tests were performed on the test item in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A14 – a BAM Fallhammer test and Koenen Tube test. The BAM Fallhammer test is designed to measure the sensitiveness of substances to impact. The Koenen Tube test determines whether the substance is liable to explode under conditions of intense heat and defined confinement.

In the BAM Fallhammer test, the sample was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J. The test result is therefore considered Negative. In the Koenen Tube test, the sample did not exhibit an explosion during any of the tests. The test result is therefore considered Negative.

The formulation should therefore not be classified for explosiveness under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
