negative (not further specified)
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The explosive properties of the test item were predicted in accordance with EU Method A14. Based on the chemical structure of the test item the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative. Therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification.
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

Explosive properties were predicted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.14 Explosive Properties of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

CONCLUSION

Based on the chemical structure of the test item the result for explosive properties has been predicted negative.

Description of key information

The explosive properties of the test item were predicted in accordance with EU Method A14.  Based on the chemical structure of the test item the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative.  Therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

No additional data.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VII, Section 7.11, Column 2, explosive properties do not need to be investigated experimentally if there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. The structure of the test item has been considered using a method designed to be compatible with EU Method A.14 and a valid and conclusive expert statement is available. Furthermore, comparison to the screening criteria detailed in Appendix VI of the UN Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria Sixth Revised Edition (2015), revealed no functional groups associated with explosive properties. As a result, classification of the test material as explosive under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is not required.
