Executive summary:

The test item was assessed for its explosive properties regarding sensitivity to heat, shock and friction in accordance to EU method A.14. The results showed that the test item was not explosive.

Description of key information

In a study the test item was assessed for its explosive properties regarding sensitivity to heat, shock and friction. Thus, the results showed that the test item was not explosive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Additional information

The test item was assessed for its explosive properties regarding sensitivity to heat, shock and friction in accordance to EU method A.14. The results showed that the test item was not explosive.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the study assessing explosive properties and sensitivity to heat, shock and friction, the test item has not to be classified with respect to explosiveness.

Further, based on the structure of the molecule and taking into account the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) 2019/521, the test item does not have to be classified with respect to explosiveness.
