- Conclusions:
- No explosions were observed up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J, and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock; no explosions were observed using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test; an explosion was observed with a limiting orifice diameter of 2mm and the result is considered positive (diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate showed a violent effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity.
- Executive summary:
Atwal and Tremain (2011) is a GLP compliant study following standard test guidelines which is considered suitable for use as a key study for this endpoint.

The Koenen test specifies for the testing to be started using an orifice plate of 20mm and if no explosion occurs the diameter of the orifice to be reduced in a series of single trials (to a minimum diameter of 1mm) until an explosion occurs. However, it was decided to start testing using a 1mm orifice plate because a limited amount of test item was available. For the same reason, the test item that was used to determine the amount of test item required to fill the tube to 15mm from the top, using three equal increments was re-used for packing the steel tube for test 1. As all tubes were filled to 15mm from the top using the same amount of test item and the specified amount of pressure for packing, this deviation is considered not to have any significance with regard to the result.
Description of key information
No explosions were observed up to the maximum impact energy applied of 50 J, and the result is considered negative for the BAM fall hammer test for shock; no explosions were observed using the maximum friction load of 360 N and the result is considered negative for the BAM friction test; an explosion was observed with a limiting orifice diameter of 2mm and the result is considered positive (diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate showed a violent effect on heating under confinement) for the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity.
