Principles of method if other than guideline:

Expert judgment based on the screening procedure as described in:
- CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3
- Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria
- Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Name: FAT 92349

Key result

Parameter:

other: Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy

Remarks on result:

other: The overall energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Screening evaluation:

Analysis of the molecular structure revealed that no such chemical alert structures are present in the molecule.

Calculation of the oxygen balance according to the above mentioned formula is -115.24 and therefore higher than the trigger value of -200.

Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy:

The curve displays no exothermic peak up to 350 °C. As a result, the overall energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Executive summary:

No experimental test data according to EU Method A.14 or comparable methods are available for Reactive Blue 069. Hence an expert judgment based on the screening procedure as described in below mentioned guidelines was conducted:

- CLP, Annex I, Part 2, paragraphs 2.1.4.2 and 2.1.4.3

- Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria

- Technical Guidance Document on the Information Requirements for REACH, Part 2 EWG 1-7, REACH Implementation Project (RIP) 3.3 Phase 2, chapter 7.1.11.3

Analysis of the chemical structure reveals no alerts for explosive properties. The calculated chemical oxygen balance is above the trigger value of -200, but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore, the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.

Description of key information

An expert assessment was conducted to evaluate the explosive properties of the test substance accordingto the recommendions of the internationally accepted guidelines. In this evaluation, analysis of the chemical structure revealed no alerts for explosive properties. The calculated chemical oxygen balance was above the trigger value of -200, but the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore the substance was considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing was required.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance was considered to be non-explosive according to the screening evaluation conducted, and hence it does not warrant the classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
