Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- from 1988-08-08 to 1989-02-01
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- not specified
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Testing on explosive properties was conducted by applying:
a) Testing on thermal sensitivity (BAM steel core method): Heating of the test item in a steel tube, closed by orifice plates with differing diameters of hole, to determine whether the substance is liable to explode under conditions of intense heat and defined confinement.
b) BAM Fallhammer:
Subjecting the test substance to the shock from a specified mass dropped from a specified height.
=> The above mentioned methods corresponds uniformly to the apparatus and procedures according to EU method A.14 (Regulation No. 440/2008/EC) - GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: More sensitive to shock than m-dinitrobenzene
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: More sensitive to friction than m-dinitrobenzene
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: Explosive under influence of flame
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: Explosive (not specified)
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- As diammonium persulfate showed neither thermal nor mechanical sensitivity, the substance was considered not explosive.
- Executive summary:
Applying the BAM steel core and the BAM Fallhammer method, which corresponds uniformly to the apparatus and procedures according to EU method A.14 (Regulation No. 440/2008/EC), diammonium persulfate showed neither thermal nor mechanical sensitivity. Therefore, and also based on experience in handling and use, the substance was considered not explosive.
Reference
a) Testing on thermal sensitivity (BAM steel core method):
Even when applying the smallest diameter (1 mm), the test substance showed no thermal sensitivity
b) BAM Fallhammer:
Applying a shock energy of 50 Joule (10 kg/50 cm), the substance showed no mechanical sensitivity
Description of key information
As diammonium persulfate showed neither thermal nor mechanical sensitivity, the substance was considered not explosive.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Applying the BAM steel core and the BAM Fallhammer method, which corresponds uniformly to the apparatus and procedures according to EU method A.14 (Regulation (EC) no. 440/2008), diammonium persulfate showed neither thermal nor mechanical sensitivity. Therefore, and also based on experience in handling and use, the substance was considered not explosive. Further, company data on dust explosiveness revealed no such properties for the test substance (see: Degussa, 2001)
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on the results obtained from the experimental study, from company data as well as on experience in handling and use, diammonium persulfate was not classified with respect to explosiveness according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP), as amended for the fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2020/1182.
