Conclusions:
The substance is not considered an explosive, as concluded from the test results on thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame), mechanical sensitivity (shock) and mechanical sensitivity (friction).
Executive summary:

The explosiveness properties of the substance has been determined based on the thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame), mechanical sensitivity (shock) and mechanical sensitivity (friction) in accordance with EEC A.10 and GLP. It was concluded that the test substance is not explosive.

Description of key information

Non explosive, EEC A.14, Schürch 1993

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The explosiveness of the substance has been determined based on the thermal sensitivity (effect of a flame), mechanical sensitivity (shock) and mechanical sensitivity (friction) in accordance with EEC A.14 and GLP. It was concluded that the test substance is not explosive.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, classification on explosiveness is not warranted in accordance with EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. (EC) 1272/2008.
