EC number: 231-853-9 | CAS number: 7761-88-8
Explosiveness
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties

Description of key information
Silver nitrate is devoid of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties, such as metal peroxides, peroxo-acid-anions, azides, and halogen oxides.) Whereas silver nitrate exhibits oxidising properties it is not combustible itself. Further, it is noted that despite long-term industrial use of the substance, it is not classified for explosive properties according to UN transport regulations. In consequence, no experimental verification is required and silver nitrate is considered to be non-explosive.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive

Justification for classification or non-classification
Silver nitrate is devoid of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties, such as metal peroxides, peroxo-acid-anions, azides, and halogen oxides.) Whereas silver nitrate exhibits oxidising properties it is not combustible itself. Further, it is noted that despite long-term industrial use of the substance, it is not classified for explosive properties according to UN transport regulations. In consequence, no experimental verification is required and silver nitrate is considered to be non-explosive (no classification required).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
