Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- 11 September 2015 - 29 October 2015
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ASTM E537 using differential scanning calorimetry
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The heat of decomposition was determined to be 124 J/g. As the heat of decomposition has been determined to be less than 500 J/g then no further testing is required to establish the explosive properties of the test substance.
- Executive summary:
As a preliminary test, the heat of decomposition was determined using differential scanning calorimetry according to ASTM E537. The heat of decompostion was determined to be 124 J/g. As the heat of decomposition has been determined to be less than 500 J/g then no further testing is required to establish the explosive properties of the test substance.
- 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 the substance is an organic substance or mixture containing chemical groups associated with explosive properties, but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500°C
- Justification for type of information:
- It is stated in Annex VII, column 2 of the REACH Regulation that a study does not need to be conducted if the organic substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500 °C.
As a preliminary test, the heat of decomposition was determined using differential scanning calorimetry according to ASTM E537. The heat of decomposition was determined to be 124 J/g (Jackson, 2015). In addition, the decomposition of the test item occurs upon melting at a temperature of 321.3 °C (O'Connor, 2015b).
As the heat of decomposition is below 500 J/g and the decomposition temperature is below 500 °C then no further testing is required to determine the explosive properties of the test item.

The thermogram shows a large endothermic peak at approximately 330 °C which is followed by a smaller exothermic peak over in the range 367 - 435 °C. The total normalized energy output from the exothermic event, i.e. the heat of decomposition, is 124 J/g.

In addition, the decomposition of the test item occurs upon melting at a temperature of 321.3 °C (O'Connor, 2015b).
As the heat of decomposition is below 500 J/g and the decomposition temperature is below 500 °C then no further testing is required to determine the explosive properties of the test item.
