- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1985
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study without detailed documentation
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Part I: Classification procedures, test methods and criteria relating to explosives of Class 1
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Test series:
- UN Test series 3
- Method:
- other: UN Test 3 (a) (iv): 30 kg Fallhammer test
- Parameter:
- other: drop height (no propagation)
- Value:
- 4
- Result:
- negative, no propagation of detonation
- Remarks:
- >= 4 m
- Test series:
- UN Test series 3
- Method:
- other: UN Test 3 (a) (iv): 30 kg Fallhammer test
- Parameter:
- other: drop height (no reaction)
- Value:
- 2.25
- Result:
- other: no reaction
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Executive summary:
The substance was tested for sensitiveness to drop-weight impact, according to UN 30 kg fallhammer test.
The drop-weight height without propagation was >= 4 m, therefore the result is considered negative.
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1985
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: NFT 70-503
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Part I: Classification procedures, test methods and criteria relating to explosives of Class 1
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Test series:
- UN Test series 3
- Method:
- UN Test 3 (b) (i): BAM friction apparatus
- Parameter:
- limiting load (N)
- Value:
- 353
- Result:
- other: inconclusive, > 353 N
- Remarks:
- Julius Peters friction apparatus
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Executive summary:
The substance was tested for sensitiveness to friction, according to NFT 70-503, similar to BAM apparatus.
The maximum load tested was 353 N, i.e. below the UN threshold of 360 N, therefore the negative result is not sufficient for purpose of classification procedure according to CLP.

Referenceopen allclose all
In the two assays conducted (loading length 20 cm), the substance did not burn or melt, during the 10 min period of ignition.
Description of key information
The substance is classified as an explosive, with mass explosion hazard.
However, it has low sensitivity to temperature and shock.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- explosive
Additional information
Experimental data is available with regard to impact sensitivity, friction, priming the detonation, and deflagration, and is considered sufficient for classification purpose.
Supporting literature provides additional information on thermal properties and performances of the explosive.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification was performed according to testing protocol and decision tree described in French Arrêté and Circulaire of 20/04/2007, relating to risk assessment and prevention of accidents in pyrotechnique plants.
Considering the substance was assigned to the worst-case division 1.1, no new testing was deemed necessary.
