Description of key information

The test item was determined to be non-explosive because negative results were obtained with the BAM Fallhammer and Koenen Tube tests (EU Method A.14).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

BAM fallhammer test

GUIDELINE

The investigation was conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A.14 to measure the sensitiveness of substances to impact.

 

METHODS

The sample was placed in the impact device and the 10 kg weight dropped from a height of 40 cm which is equivalent to 40 J. If an "explosion" was observed, the impact energy was reduced to 7.5 J and further tests conducted.

 

RESULTS

The sample of test item was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J and the test result was therefore considered negative.

Koenen tube test

GUIDELINE

The test was conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A.14.

 

METHODS

The substance was placed 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.

 

RESULTS

The sample did not exhibit an explosion during any of the tests and the test result was therefore considered negative.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Negative results were obtained from BAM fallhammer and Koenen tube tests and classification for explosive properties is not required under the criteria ofRegulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
