Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: An assessment was performed for phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] based on an examination of its molecular structure (functionality).

Qualifier:

no guideline required

Principles of method if other than guideline:

An assessment was performed to determine the explosive behaviour of phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol]) by examination of its molecular structure and functionality. A screening procedure was adopted in accordance with section 2.1.4.2 of the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. Reference was made to structural motifs in particular that are listed in Table A6.1 in Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria as being indicative of explosive behaviour in organic materials. According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Section 2.1.4.3, phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2’-iminobis[ethanol] shall not be classified as explosive if none of the specified structural features are present in the substance.

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] is not expected to possess explosive properties according to an expert assessment based on its molecular structure (functionality).

Executive summary:

An expert assessment was undertaken to determine the explosive potential of phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] based on its molecular structure and functionality. A screening procedure was adopted in line with section 2.1.4.2 of the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and reference was made to Table A6.1 in Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria in order to identify structural motifs typically associated with explosive behaviour in organic materials. The constituents within phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2’-iminobis[ethanol] do not to contain any halogens or metals. Furthermore, the raw materials used in manufacture do not contain functionalities that are associated with explosive properties and, therefore, it is highly unlikely that such functionalities would be introduced directly into the final product. Oxygen and nitrogen are present within the structures of the constituents, however, they are not present within chemical groups considered to be associated with explosive properties, as stated in section 2.1.4.3 of the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. Subsequently, it can be concluded that phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2’-iminobis[ethanol] is not likely to possess explosive properties.

Description of key information

According to an expert assessment performed for phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compd. with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] based on a review of its molecular structure (functionality), the registered substance is not expected to possess explosive properties.
