Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
other: Study report pertains to multiple endpoints
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Test series:

Key result
Test series:
UN Test series 1
Remarks:
6 tests were conducted
Method:
UN Test 3 (b) (i): BAM friction apparatus
Parameter:
limiting load (N)
Value:
360
Result:
result is considered "-" (negative)
Remarks:
All 6 tests were negative
Key result
Test series:
UN Test series 1
Remarks:
6 tests were conducted, 3 with 6mm and 3 with 2mm
Method:
UN Test 2 (b): Koenen test
Parameter:
limiting diameter (mm)
Remarks:
2 and 6 mm were used
Value:
6
Result:
result is considered "-" (negative)
Remarks:
tests using 2mm and 6 mm were all negative
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J; the BAM Fallhammer test result is therefore considered Negative.
The test substance was observed to exhibit no reaction at 360 N; the BAM Friction test result is therefore considered Negative.
The sample did not exhibit an explosion during any of the tests; the Koenen Tube test result is therefore considered Negative.
Executive summary:

The explosivity potential of the test substance was determined using EU Guideline Method A.14 and the BAM Fallhammer, BAM friction and Koenen Tube were used for the testing procedures. The test substance was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J; the BAM Fallhammer test result is therefore considered Negative. The test substance was observed to exhibit no reaction at 360 N; the BAM Friction test result is therefore considered Negative. The sample did not exhibit an explosion during any of the tests; the Koenen Tube test result is therefore considered Negative.
