Reference 1

Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)

GLP compliance:

no

Parameter:

sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)

Remarks on result:

not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N

Parameter:

sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)

Remarks on result:

not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J

Parameter:

thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate

Remarks:

diameters used 2 mm and 6 mm

Number of fragments:

0

Remarks on result:

not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement

Individual results

Mechanical sensitivity (friction): six times negative

Mechanical sensitivity (shock): six times negative, no optical change in product apparent

Koenen test: 3 trials with nozzle diameter 2 mm, reaction initiation after 72 -77 s, result: no fragments, cartridge unchanged; 3 trials with nozzle diameter 6 mm, reaction initiation after 70 -75 s, result: no fragments, cartridge unchanged

Final result: no explosive properties under the test conditions in the sense of EC Method A.14.

Description of key information

not explosive

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Additional information

There are no chemical groups associated with the explosive properties in the molecule of the substance. This is confirmed by the test results according to EU Method A.14.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on explosivity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: The substance is not explosive, since there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. This is confirmed by the result of the EU A.14 test.
