Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the absence of positive findings in any of the three tests (thermal sensitivity, mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock and mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction), it is concluded that the test item is considered as non-explosive.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according to OPPTS 830.6316 (GLP). The explosive properties were determined by employing a battery of three tests viz. (a) test of thermal sensitivity, (b) test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock, and (c) test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction.
The definitive studies described below were conducted only after preliminary tests established that the test item was safe enough to perform the intended studies to evaluate its explosive properties. All the tests were performed by employing the apparatus recognized internationally and compliant with the specifications provided in OPPTS 830.6316.
For assessment of thermal sensitivity, the test item was filled in six test metal tubes with an aperture of 6 mm and 2 mm orifice plates and exposed to heat in the Koenen apparatus for 5 minutes using four burners with LPG gas flow at 3.2 litres per minute. The test metal tubes were observed for their appearance after the test. The results revealed that the test item was non-sensitive to heat under test conditions.
For the definitive test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock, samples of about 40 mg of the test item were placed in the sample holder in the BAM Fall-hammer apparatus. A weight of 10 kg was dropped on the sample holder from height of 0.40 m. The test was repeated six times. Since no explosion was observed, the test item was considered non-sensitive to mechanical shock.
For the definitive test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction the test item was placed on the porcelain plate in the BAM Friction apparatus for testing of mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction. A force of 360 N was applied with the porcelain peg on the test item. The plate was moved once to a distance of 10 mm using the electric motor. The test was repeated for six times. Since no explosion was observed, the test item was considered non-sensitive to mechanical friction.
Based on the absence of positive findings in any of these three tests, it is concluded that the test item is considered as non-explosive.
