Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Data waiving:
study waived due to provisions of other regulation
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
Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Explosive properties of 1,4-naphthoquinone are not expected and therefore, the test item should be classified as not explosive.
Executive summary:

1,4-naphthoquinone does not contain any compounds with any structures or groups associated with explosive properties as given in the tables. There are also no components in the test item which can react together and build new structures which are listed in the tables above. Therefore, testing can be waived based on a consideration of the chemical structure in accordance with REACH Annex VII, column 2 of section 7.11.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

According to column 2 of REACH Annex VII the study does not need to be conducted if there are no chemical groups associated

with explosive properties present in the molecule. 1,4-naphthoquinone does not contain any structural alerts associated with explosive properties. Therefore testing is not justified.

Justification for classification or non-classification

1,4-naphthoquinone has not to be classified as explosive substance.
