- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Parameter:

- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N

- Remarks on result:
- not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test substance has no danger of explosion according to the explosive properties.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of the test was the determination of the melting point according to Guideline 92/69/EEC part A.14. explosive properties. Study conducted in compliance with GLP.
As a screening method for determination of explosive properties a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed. If the decomposition energy is below 500 J/g the main test of explosive properties according A. 14 is unnecessary.
The method provides a scheme of testing to determine whether or not a solid, a liquid or a pasty substance or preparation presents a danger of explosion when submitted to the effect of a flame (thermal sensitivity) or to impact or friction (sensitivity to mechanical stimuli).
The method comprises three parts:
a test of thermal sensitivity;
a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock;
a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction.

Three tests were performed with a circular nozzle plate with a hole of 2 mm diameter used.
