Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The chemical structure of the test substance was examined for the presence of groups associated with explosive properties according to UN recommendations (Appendix 6 of the UN's Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria 4th ed (Revised Edition, 2003) and Section 7.1.11.3 of the REACH guidance R.7a: Endpoint-specific guidance (May 2008). Expert judgment was applied to conclude on the explosivity of the test substance.

Any other information on results incl. tables

For all constituents of the substance, it was assessed through expert judgment based on the evaluation of available data and the composition of the constituents that the constituents will not show explosive properties. It is therefore not expected that the test substance will exhibit explosive properties.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

non explosive

Conclusions:

Fully hydrogenated high erucic acid rapeseed oil is not expected to be explosive.

Executive summary:
