Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Expert statement
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3
GLP compliance:
no
Parameter:
other: Oxygen balance
Remarks on result:
other: Calculated oxygen is -120.27 and therefore higher than the trigger value of -200
Parameter:
other: exothermic decomposition energy
Remarks on result:
other: No exothermic peaks up to 350 °C. As a result, the overall energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C

- Analysis of the molecular structure revealed, that no chemical alert structures associated with explosiveness are present in the molecule.

- The calculated chemical oxygen balance is above the trigger value of -200 but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated no energy release above the critical value of 500 J/g.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Acid Blue 314 is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

No experimental test data according to EU Method A.14 or comparable methods for Acid Blue 314 are available. Considering that explosive properties are associated with the presence of certain chemical groups in the molecule, a screening evaluation was conducted aimed to identify the presence of such reactive groups within the molecular structure harvesting the capability for a rapid high energy release.

The screening procedure is based on the following guidances:

- CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3

- Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria

- Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3

Analysis of the molecular structure revealed, that no chemical alert structures associated with explosiveness are present in the molecule. The calculated chemical oxygen balance is above the trigger value of -200 but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated no energy release above the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore, the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Description of key information

Acid Blue 314 is considered to be non-explosive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

No experimental test data according to EU Method A.14 or comparable methods for Acid Blue 314 are available. Considering that explosive properties are associated with the presence of certain chemical groups in the molecule, a screening evaluation was conducted aimed to identify the presence of such reactive groups within the molecular structure harvesting the capability for a rapid high energy release.

The screening procedure is based on the following guidances:

Analysis of the molecular structure revealed, that no chemical alert structures associated with explosiveness are present in the molecule. The calculated chemical oxygen balance is above the trigger value of -200 but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated no energy release above the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acid Blue 314 is considered to be not explosive, hence it does not warrant classification for explosiveness as per the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
