Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
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
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
other: Expert statement
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
2018
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Expert statement
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Appendix 6
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Expert statement.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Parameter:
other: Explosive properties based on theoretical assessment
Remarks on result:
other: There are no elements to suggest that explosive properties may be exhibited by the test substance

Examination of the structural formula for the sample indicates:

  1. There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties
  2. The oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups – it is bound in SO groups which do not possess explosive behaviour. For the three chain length compounds present, the oxygen balance is -272, -267 and -263– below the criteria for consideration (-200).

Based on this combination of factors, it is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties. There are no elements of the screening procedure which begin to suggest that explosive properties may be exhibited by the substance. The conduct of the A.14 tests is therefore not considered appropriate.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Non explosive
Conclusions:
Based on this combination of factors, it was beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties. There were no elements of the screening procedure to suggest that explosive properties may be exhibited by the substance.

Description of key information

Based on the molecular structure of the substance, no oxidising properties are expected. This conclusion was supported by a theoretical assessment (K2, Dekra, 2018).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not need to be classified as explosive.
