Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: OECD 113 Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air
GLP compliance:
no
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Storage conditions: ambient temperature (10 – 30 °C)
Parameter:
other: Thermal stability (DSC)
Remarks:
Decomposition heat in J/g
Remarks on result:
other: The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Thermal stability

DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucibles with the test item showed an endothermal effect in  the temperature range of 210 - 300 °C. No further endothermal or exothermal effects were observed up to 500 °C.

The results are summarised in Table 1.

Explosive properties

The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Conclusion: The test item had no explosive properties

Description of key information

The test item had no explosive properties in the sense of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria, Appendix 6: Screening Procedures and in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.14.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Conclusion: The test item had no explosive properties

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on explosivity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: The substance is not an explosive substance according to the criteria of EC Method A.14.
