- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- From 22 September 2014 to 21 November 2014
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N
- Key result
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
- Key result
- Parameter:
- thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
- Remarks on result:
- not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Gadolinium trinitrate was concluded not to be explosive when exposed to friction, shock or heat.
- Executive summary:
The explosive properties of gadolinium trinitrate were investigated according to EU test method A.14 in compliance with GLP. The test item has no explosive properties.
Reference
Friction test:
Six negative assays were recorded: no friction sensitivity was noted with the test item with a loading of 360 Newton. No further tests were performed.
Mechanical sensitivity (shock):
Six negative assays were recorded: no shock sensitivity was noted with the test item. No further tests were performed.
Heat sensitivity (flame):
Three assays using a tube with a hole of 6-mm diameter: in the three assays, an overflowing was observed from ca.1 min 37 s to 2 min 09 s.
Three assays using a tube with a hole of 2-mm diameter: in the three assays, an overflowing and projections were observed from ca. 1 min 03 s to 2 min 35 s. From 2 min 20 s to 5 min, an orange flame about 25 cm was observed.
In conclusion: six negative assays were recorded, no heat sensitivity was noted with the test item.
Description of key information
Gadolinium trinitrate is concluded not to be explosive.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
An experimental study of reliability 1 according to Klimisch, performed in compliance with GLP and according to EU method A.14, was selected as a key study. The study did not observe explosivity of the test item upon friction, heat, or shock. Although under GHS and CLP, the EU method A.14 is not sufficient for concluding on explosive properties, the conclusion that the substance is not explosive is supported by the fact that it does not contain any structural groups that are indicative of explosive properties and hence, under GHS and CLP, a study according to the relevant UN testing series is not required.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The experimental data (EU method A.14) show that gadolinium trinitrate is not sensitive to friction, shock or heat.
Although under GHS and CLP, the EU method A.14 is not sufficient for concluding on explosive properties, the conclusion that the substance is not explosive is supported by the fact that it does not contain any structural groups that are indicative of explosive properties and hence, under GHS and CLP, a study according to the relevant UN testing series is not required.
