Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
Parameter:
thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
Remarks on result:
not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
Parameter:
sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
Remarks on result:
not required

Mechanical Sensitivity (Friction-Mill Test):

The test item is a liquid. Testing was not necessary. This test is only applicable to solid or pasty materials.

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The substance is not explosive in terms of EC Guideline A 14.
Executive summary:

The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A.14 'Explosive Properties'. The method comprised only two parts, a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock and a test of thermal sensitivity. Testing the mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction was not necessary, because the substance is a liquid. The substance can be considered as not explosive in terms of EC Guideline A 14.

Description of key information

Not explosive in terms of EC Guideline A 14.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

EC Guideline A 14

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A.14 'Explosive Properties'. The mechanical sensitivity was carried out by the drop weight test and the thermal stability by the steel cartridge test. The substance was neither sensitive to shock or was explosive when heated under defined confinement. Therefore, the substance has no potential for explosiveness; and hence no classification according to both Directive 67/548/EEC and GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
