Test series:
UN Test series 3
Method:
UN Test 3 (a) (ii): BAM Fallhammer
Parameter:
limiting impact energy (J)
Remarks:
Limiting impact energy (UN Test Series 3): > 50 J
Result:
negative, no explosion
Remarks on result:
other: Decomposition was observed.

The limiting impact energy, characterizing the impact sensitivity of the test item, is defined as the lowest impact energy at which explosion occurs in any of six trials. Based on the above test series according to UN Test Series 3, the limiting impact energy of Yellow 22is higher than 50 J.

 

Negative result was obtained in all of the six shock sensitivity tests performed at 40 J impact energy. ThereforeYellow 22does not present a danger of explosion in the sense of the EC A.14 directive.

“-“: Decomposition or no reaction; “+”: Explosion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Limiting impact energy (UN Test Series 3): > 50 J. Yellow 22presents no danger of explosion in the sense of the EC A.14 directive.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine whetherYellow 22presents a danger of explosion when submitted to effect of shock. Test item was subjected to drop-weight impact using the BAM Fallhammer apparatus.

The following results were obtained:

Yellow 22proved to be insensitive to shock, explosionwas not observed. Limiting impact energy (UN Test Series 3): > 50 J. Yellow 22presents no danger of explosion in the sense of the EC A.14 directive.

 

Description of key information

Limiting impact energy (UN Test Series 3): > 50 J. Yellow 22 presents no danger of explosion in the sense of the EC A.14 directive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
