Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
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)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Parameter:
other: Explosive properties - Predicted negative based on the structure.
Remarks on result:
other: Based on the chemical structure the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative.

Results

There are no structural alerts within the chemical structure of the test item.

Conclusions:
Based on the chemical structure of the test item the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative.

Executive summary:

The prediction was undertaken using a procedure designed to be compatible with Appendix 6 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria, 5th revised edition 2009, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of 16 December 2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures, Method A14 Explosive Properties of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Performance of the Prediction

The structure of the test item was assessed for chemical groups that imply explosive properties. Examples of such groups are C-C unsaturated, C-metal, N-metal, contiguous oxygen atoms, contiguous nitrogen atoms, N-halogens, O-halogens, N-O. Examples of these groups are given below.

 

Structural Features

Examples

C-C unsaturated

Acetylenes, acetylides, 1,2 - dienes

C-metal, N-metal

Grignard reagents, organo-lithium compounds

Contiguous oxygen atoms

Peroxides,ozonides

Contiguous nitrogen atoms

Azides, aliphatic azo compounds, diazonium salts, hydrazines, sulphonyl hydrazides

N-halogens

Chloramines, fluoroamines

O-halogens

Chlorates, perchlorates, iodosyl compounds

N-O

Hydroxylamines, nitrates, nitro compounds, N-oxides, 1,2-oxazoles

 

Full structural details are given in Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 7th Edition, Academic Press, 2007.

Results

There are no structural alerts within the chemical structure of the test item.

Conclusion

Based on the chemical structure of the test item the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative.

 

Description of key information

The structure of the test item was assessed for chemical groups that imply explosive properties.  Examples of such groups are C-C unsaturated, C-metal, N-metal, contiguous oxygen atoms, contiguous nitrogen atoms, N-halogens, O-halogens, N-O. 

If there are no structural alerts within the structure then the explosive properties can be predicted negative.

There are no structural alerts within the chemical structure of the test item.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the chemical structure the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative as there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule.

The substance therefore is not classified as explosive.
