Due to the fact that the test item showed no exothermal decomposition, further tests on explosive properties did not have to be performed.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Final Results:
In the DSC-measurement no exothermic decomposition of the test item Leuco Sulfur Blue 20 occurred. Due to this result, further tests for explosive properties had not to be performed. The test item has no explosive properties according to Recommendations on the TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS: Manual of Tests and Criteria, 6th edition, New York and Geneva, 2015: Class 1.

According to the results of the test on thermal stability, the test item is classified as following:
UN Transport Regulation: The test item does not have to be classified as explosive substance in class 1 according to the UN Transport Regulation.
GHS (CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008: Annex 1: 2.1): The test item does not have to be classified as explosive substance according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.1, respectively.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data, the test item is not classified for explosiveness according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
