Reference
This substance is void of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties
Description of key information
According to the provisions of EU A.14 method, the test substance was assessed by expert judgement as being void of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Both calcium oxide and calcium carbonate have been assessed for chemical structures associated with explosive properties. In the absence of such structures it is concluded that all grades of calcium oxide may be considered to be not explosive, irrespective of calcium carbonate content.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the provisions of EU A.14 method, the test substance was assessed by expert judgement as being void of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties.The structure of calcium carbonate was also assessed for chemical groups that would indicate explosive properties and was found to contain no such groups.On this basis all grades of calcium oxide may be considered to be not explosive, irrespective of the calcium carbonate content.
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).
