Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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, other
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
Reference
Description of key information
Bulk calcium carbonate does not have explosive properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
The structure of calcium carbonate was assessed for chemical groups that would indicate explosive properties and was found to contain no such groups. Therefore, the explosive properties of calcium carbonate have been predicted negative based on the chemical structure and experience of handling and use.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The explosive properties of bulk calcium carbonate have been predicted negative based on chemical structure and experience of handling and use. Classification is not required.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
