Thermal Test Results

	T1 (seconds)	T2 (seconds)	Observations
6mm orifice
Test 1	4	300	Yellow flame
Test 2	3	300	Yellow flame
Test 3	4	300	Yellow flame
2 mm orifice
Test 1	4	300	Yellow flame
Test 2	4	300	Yellow flame
Test 3	3	300	Yellow flame

Result	N	N	N	N	N	N

N = no evidence of ignition, explosion or decomposition

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Allylamine was determined not to be explosive.

Executive summary:

The explosive properties of allylamine were determined in accordance with method EC A14. The method assesses explosive properties induced by thermal sensitivity (effect of flame) and mechanical sensitivity (shock).

Allylamine was determined to be non explosive.

Description of key information

A single key study was used to determine the explosiveness of allylamine:

Explosivity = Non explosive (EC A14), Cage (2013).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Justification for classification or non-classification

Allylamine was not considered to be thermally sensitivy, nor mechanically sensitive when tested in accordance with method EC A14. No explosive classification is therefore relevant under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
