Description of key information

The explosiveness of 1H-Tetrazol-5-amine-, N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-, monoammonium salt was determined according to EU method A.14. 
Thermal sensitivity: The test result was considered positive as an explosion occured in the series of tests.
Mechanical sensitivity (shock): No reaction was observed. Therefore the substance is considered as not sensitive to shock.
Mechanical sensitivity (friction): No reaction was observed. Therefore the substance is considered as not sensitive to friction.
Overall conclusion: 1H-Tetrazol-5-amine-, N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-, monoammonium salt has to be classified as explosive substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
explosive

Additional information

Data obtained from a guideline study according to EU method A.14 and therefore considered reliable without restrictions.

Justification for classification or non-classification

1H-Tetrazol-5-amine-, N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-, monoammonium salt has not to be classified as explosive but may nevertheless display explosive properties in practice if heated under sufficient confinement.

Therefore the additional labelling as EUH 044, Risk of explosion if heated under confinement, is required.
