Any other information on results incl. tables

The study was conducted according to a slightly different method than guideline A.14 and investigated the mechanical sensitivity to friction and shock of T002680 (4 -aminobenzonitrile). The thermal sensivity was not investigated.

Mechanical sensitivity (friction): No scorch marks on the clay plate or the wooden lag and changes in the substance were observed in all six tests.

Mechanical sensitivity (shock): No scorch marks on the driving band or the underlayment and no change of the substance at any sample were observed.

The results show no explosive properties of 4-Aminobenzonitrile as the test substance is not sensitive to shock and friction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The two tests for mechanical sensitivity to friction and shock showed no explosive properties of T002680 (4-aminobenzonitrile).
