- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 25 July 2019 to 13 August 2019
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Version / remarks:
- 2008
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Parameter:
- sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
- Remarks on result:
- not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The sample of test item was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J and the test result was therefore considered negative.
- Executive summary:
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 the substance 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.

- Executive summary:
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.

Description of key information
The test item did not exhibit any reaction in the BAM Fallhammer test or the Koenen tube test and was determined to be non-explosive (EU Method A.14).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive

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
The test item did not exhibit sensitiveness to impact and no indication was reported that the substance was liable to explode under conditions of intense heat and confinement. Classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and subsequent amendments is therefore not required.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
