Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
December 1974
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Data source

Reference
Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed
Year:
1974

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Part I, Test 1(c) (i) "Time/pressure test"
Version / remarks:
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria: Part I: Classification procedures, test methods and criteria relating to explosives of Class 1
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
The size of the used vessel is slightly fifferent from that proposed in Test 1(c)(i) . This is not considered to affect the result and conclusion.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The thermal stability of the substance was tested in a stailess steel pressure vessel, volume 100 cc. The vessel had as integral parts, a thermocouple and a pressure transducer.
GLP compliance:
no

Results and discussion

Results of test series for explosives
Key result
Test series:
other: Thermal stability in a closed vessel
Method:
UN Test 1 (c) (i): Time/pressure test
Parameter:
other: Pressure [kPa]
Value:
2 413
Result:
result is considered "+" (positive)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
According to the test criteria and and method of assessing results "the substance shows the ability to deflagrate". So at least one "+" is obtained in the three types of test to assess possible explosive effects.The question in box 4 of the procedure for classifying a substance or article in class 1 "Is it an explosive substance" has to be answered with "yes"
