Description of key information

No studies are available; however, based on chemical structure, magnesium carbonate is not expected to possess explosive properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The structure of magnesium carbonate was assessed for chemical groups that would indicate explosive properties and was found to contain no such groups. Therefore, magnesium carbonate has been predicted not to possess explosive properties based on its chemical structure and also on experience of handling and use.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Magnesium carbonate has been predicted not to possess explosive properties based on its chemical structure and also on experience of handling and use. Therefore, magnesium carbonate is not classified as explosive according to either the DSD or CLP.
