no

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

- Identification: tris(2-hydroxyethyl)methylammonium hydroxide CAS 33667-48-0
- Batch: D26-3-3-1
- Purity: 47.4%
- Expiry: 01 December 2018
- Storage conditions: Room temperature in the dark

There are no structural alerts within the chemical structure of the test item.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the chemical structure of the test item the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative.

Description of key information

The substance was concluded to be non-explosive based on its chemical structure in an Expert Statement (Covance, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Justification for classification or non-classification

The structure of THEMAH contains no groups that would infer explosive properties. This results in an absence of classification under the CLP regulation.
