Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From September 06, 2000 to September 11, 2000
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:

GLP compliance:
yes
Key result
Parameter:
other: Screening test: DSC in closed glass pans, heating rate 3 K/min
Remarks on result:
other: Decomposition energy is 209 J/g; hence main test is not necessary

The measurement in a closed glass pan shows an endothermic effect in the temperature range 140 - 180 °C and an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 310- 400 °C, with a decomposition energy of 209 J/g. The decomposition energy is below 500J/g, so the main test of explosive properties is unnecessary.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test substance has no danger of explosion.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine explosive property of test substance according to EU Method A.3 in compliance with GLP.

Screening method was performed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the measurement in a closed glass pan shows an endothermic effect in the temperature range 140 - 180 °C and an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 310- 400 °C, with a decomposition energy of 209 J/g. The decomposition energy is below 500 J/g, so the main test of explosive properties is unnecessary and hence main test not conducted.

Under the test conditions, test substance has no danger of explosion.

Description of key information

The test substance is non-explosive 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Explosive property of the test substance was determined according to EU Method A.3.


Screening method was performed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the measurement in a closed glass pan shows an endothermic effect in the temperature range 140- 180 °C and an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 310- 400 °C, with a decomposition energy of 209 J/g. The decomposition energy is below 500 J/g, so the main test of explosive properties is unnecessary and hence main test not conducted.


The test substance is not explosive ( Smeykal H, 2000).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The measurement in a closed glass pan shows an endothermic effect in the temperature range 140- 180 °C and an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 310- 400 °C, with a decomposition energy of 209 J/g.


No classification is required for explosiveness according to EC criteria (67/548/EEC) and according to CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
