Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance does not show explosive properties as determined by EU method A.14
Executive summary:

Following EU method A.14 guideline, the test substance was evaluated for thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame) and mechanical sensitivity (effects of shock and friction). Results showed the test material does not have explosive properties.
