Inconclusive.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Despite the report states that the study is inconclusive, data is relevant for classification according to UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria (4th revision, 2008), and therefore to EC Regulation N°1272/2008 (CLP), as the classification procedure shall not apply if the molecule does not contain reactive groups (sufficient condition).
Hexamethylene diamine is not classified as self-reactive.
Executive summary:

The potential for self-reactive properties of hexamethylenediamine was estimated according to the screening procedure of UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria (rev 2003):

The molecule does not contain structural features indicating explosive of self-reactive properties.

No Differential Scanning Calorimetry was performed, and the self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) was not measured.
