Explosiveness
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- from 10 JUN 2005 to 13 OCT 2005
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Version / remarks:
- Cited as Directive 92/69/EEC, A.14
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- For the thermal sensitivity test, there is a minor modification to the tube packing procedure proposed in guideline A14. This modification has no effect on the conclusion.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
- Remarks:
- performed with a 6 mm orifice plate and a 2 mm orifice plate
- Remarks on result:
- not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
- Key result
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
- Key result
- 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:
- The test item does not present a danger of explosion under the conditions of the test.
- Executive summary:
The determination of explosive properties was conducted according to EU Method A14 using the following systems:
1) The BAM Fall Hammer (or shock) apparatus
2) The BAM friction apparatus
3) The Koenen steel tube apparatus to test the thermal sensitivity.According to the results of these 3 tests, cerium trinitrate has been determined not to have shock sensitivity, friction sensitivity, or thermal sensitivity to explosion.
Reference
Description of key information
Following a GLP study in accordance with EC test method A.14, cerium trinitrate is concluded not to be explosive (Cerutti, 2005). This results in an absence of classification under the CLP regulation.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Cerium trinitrate has been determined not to have shock sensitivity, friction sensitivity, or thermal sensitivity to explosion.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on a GLP study in accordance with EC test method A.14, cerium trinitrate is concluded not to be explosive (Cerutti, 2005).
