Additional information

EU Method A.14 (1984)

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), the classification criteria are based on the results obtained from the test methods described in UN RTDG (Part I of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria).

The study was conducted to determine the explosive properties of the substance according to the EU method A.14 (1984), and comprised three parts:

− thermal sensitivity test to determine the effect of heating under confinement (Koenen test);

− mechanical sensitivity test to determine the sensitivity to impact;

− mechanical sensitivity test to determine the sensitivity to friction.

The criterion linked of the thermal sensitivity test to determine the effect of heating under confinement (Koenen test) is equal to the EU method A.14 and the UN RTDG test series 2. The tests for mechanical sensitivity to impact and friction are equal to the EU method A.14 and define whether a substance/mixture has an explosive hazard. The UN RTDG test series 3 leads to the decision on whether a substance/mixture is too sensitive to mechanical stimuli; so lower limits are stated.

The tests conducted demonstrated no evidence of explosion under effect of flame and no sensitivity to shock or friction.
