Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- no
- Remarks:
- The study was conducted according to the guideline in effect at the time of study conduct.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Parameter:
- thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
- Number of fragments:
- 0
- Remarks on result:
- other: no fragments, tube unchanged
- Parameter:
- other: Mechanical sensitivity (shock)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Negative; sensitivity >40 Nm
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame): no fragments, tube unchanged
Mechanical sensitivity (shock): Negative, sensitivity >40 Nm
Mechanical sensitivity (friction): Negative; sensitivity >360 N - Executive summary:
The explosiveness of the test substance was tested using thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame), mechanical sensitivity (shock), and mechanical sensitivity (friction). The test substance was negative for explosiveness in all 3 tests. In the thermal sensitivity test, no fragments were observed (tube remained unchanged). The mechanical sensitivity (shock) test was negative with sensitivity >40 Nm. The mechanical sensitivity (friction test) was negative with sensitivity >360 N. A change in colour to black was observed in the friction test.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The test substance is not considered explosive and is not classified according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC)
No. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
