Any other information on results incl. tables
Six replicate shock tests on the 4-chlorophthalic anhydride (4CLPA) did not result in an explosive event or any other visually apparent physical change in the test substance. Therefore, 4CLPA did not exhibit explosive properties when subjected to mechanical shock. When 4CLPA was heated in air to a maximum temperature of 300 °C in approx. 15 minutes, the heating curves did not show rapid changes of temperature, and, therefore, did not indicate that 4CLPA had explosive properties. This was confirmed by visual observations which showed that 4CLPA did not react violently or explode at any time during this test. 4CLPA changed colour from white to yellow during the test. These results were consistent with 4CLPA not being explosive, as supported by its oxygen balance of -8.00 (explosivity is generally associated with an oxygen balance greater than -5).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was considered to be not explosive.
- Executive summary:
Explosiveness was determined in a study performed according EU Method A.14 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In the study a shock test was performed and additionally, the test substance was heated in air to a maximum temperature of 300 °C in approximately 15 minutes. In the heat test the colour of the substance changed from white to yellow. The results were consistent with the test substance not being explosive as supported by its oxygen balance of -8.00. It is concluded that the test substance is considered to be not explosive.
