Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance does not have explosive properties.
Executive summary:

The explosive properties of the test substance were determined by assessing mechanical sensitivity with the BAM Fall Hammer and BAM Friction Apparatus. Thermal sensitivity was assessed using the steel sleeve apparatus. The study was performed according to EU Method A.14 following GLP principles. The test substance was determined not to be thermal and mechanical (both shock and friction) sensitivity. Therefore, the test substance is not classified as an explosive.

Description of key information

Explosiveness: The test substance did not explode when exposed to heat, mechanical shock or friction, EC Test A.14, BAM Falling Hammer, BAM Friction apparatus, steel sleeve apparatus, Schürch 1991

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, classification on explosiveness is not warranted in accordance with EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. (EC) 1272/2008.
