- Executive summary:
A study according to Regulation (EC) 440/2008 Method A.14 was performed to determine the explosive properties of the test item. The test item was tested for mechanical sensitivity (shock), mechanical sensitivity (friction) and thermal sensitivity. For the mechanical sensitivity (shock) the test item was subjected to the shock of a falling hammer on a steel anvil from a specified height with a specified weight and for the mechanical sensitivity (friction) the test item was subjected to friction between standard surfaces under specified conditions of load and relative motion. For the thermal sensitivity the test item was heated in a steel tube, with various degrees of confinement being provided by nozzle-plates with different diameters (2 mm and 6 mm) of orifice, to determine whether the substance is liable to explode under conditions of thermal stress and confinement. The test item was found to have no explosive properties.
Reference
In a DSC measurement the heat of decomposition of the test item was determined to be above 500 J/g in a closed high pressure crucible. Therefore, the main test on explosive properties had to be performed.
Mechanical sensitivity (friction):
The test item was sieved (mesh size 0.5 mm) before the measurement. No explosion occurred within 6 tests using a pinload of 360 N, only a discoloration of the test item was observed in all tests.
Mechanical sensitivity (shock):
The test item was sieved (mesh size 0.5 mm) before the measurement. No explosion within 6 tests using a mass of 10 kg falling from a height of 0.4 m was observed.
Thermal sensitivity:
Three tests were performed with a circular nozzle plate with a hole of 2 mm diameter. No explosion was observed.

The test on thermal sensitivity carried out with a nozzle with a diameter of 2.0 mm showed no explosion. Compared to the nozzle with a diameter of 6.0 mm the venting area of the nozzle with 2.0 mm is smaller by an order of magnitude. Additionally, the physical state of the test item excludes the enrichment of high-energy components caused by evaporation of volatile solvents. Due to these facts an explosion with a nozzle width of 6.0 mm was excluded.
Description of key information
It was determined that the test item has no explosive properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information
A study according to Regulation (EC) 440/2008 Method A.14 was performed to determine the explosive properties of the test item (reference 4.14-1). The test item was tested for mechanical sensitivity (shock), mechanical sensitivity (friction) and thermal sensitivity. For the mechanical sensitivity (shock) the test item was subjected to the shock of a falling hammer on a steel anvil from a specified height with a specified weight and for the mechanical sensitivity (friction) the test item was subjected to friction between standard surfaces under specified conditions of load and relative motion. For the thermal sensitivity the test item was heated in a steel tube, with various degrees of confinement being provided by nozzle-plates with different diameters (2 mm and 6 mm) of orifice, to determine whether the substance is liable to explode under conditions of thermal stress and confinement. The test item was found to have no explosive properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
In accordance with Annex I, Section 2.1 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EC) No 2017/776, and UN GHS Rev 6 (2015) the substance is not considered to be classified as explosive in class 1.
