Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: UN Test Series 1 and 2
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The following tests were run:
Koenen-Test
Time pressure test
Trauzl-Test with standard nr. 8 detonator
GLP compliance:
no
Parameter:
other: Explosive (not specified)
Remarks:
migrated information
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)

Koenen-Test:

- 1 mm diameter of the orifice plate: tube unchanged

- 2 mm diameter of the orifice plate: tube unchanged

- 6 mm diameter of the orifice plate: tube unchanged

Result: negative

Time pressure test:

Pressure of 20.7 bar not reached

Result: negative

BAM Trauzl-Test with standard nr. 8 detonator:

low

According to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, further testing towards a propagation of detonation in a steel tube (UN 1(a) and UN 1(b)) is required if the result of the Trauzl test is "not low", and no further testing for propagation of detonation is required if the Trauzl test yields the answer "no". However, due to the toxic and cancerogenic properties of Hydrazine and concerns of workplace safety, the steel tube tests could not be performed. The results of the Trauzl test appear to be closer to the lower border line of the test criteria, which means that in tests 1(a) and 2(a) a negative result ("-") would be anticipated.

Therefore, it is to be concluded that the following final results are obtained:

Test Series 1 ("Is it an explosive susbtance ?"): No

Test Series 2: ("Is the substance too insensitive for acceptance into Class 1?"): Yes

Hydrazinhydrate has no explosive properties

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

Explosive Properties of hydrazine hydrate were tested accordin to the UN Test Series 1 and 2 showing no explosive properties of the test item (Currenta, 2010).

Description of key information

non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, hydrazine hydrate does not fulfill the criterion for classification according to the EC regulation No 1272/2008, Annex I.
