- non explosive
Additional information
Explosiveness of the test item was evaluated in a series of experimental studies according to the EU Method A.14 (1992). The test item was subjected to three small-scale preliminary tests for explosion: the Koenen test for thermal sensitivity using a 2.0 mm and a 6.0 mm diameter orifice plate, a test for mechanical sensitivity to impact using an impact energy of 40 J, and a test for mechanical sensitivity to friction using a friction load of 360 N.
The substance was found to be not explosive when exposed to thermal or mechanical stress under the conditions of the test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation (EC1272/2008), the classification criteria are based on the results obtained with the test methods described in UN RTDG (Part I of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria).
The study conducted to determine explosive proprieties of the substance was according to the EU test method A.14 and comprised three parts:
− thermal sensitivity test to determine the effect of heating under confinement (Koenen test);
− mechanical sensitivity test to determine the sensitivity to impact;
− mechanical sensitivity test to determine the sensitivity to friction.
The criterion related to the thermal sensitivity test to determine the effect of heating under confinement (Koenen test) is equal in EU test method A.14 and UN RTDG test series 2. The tests for mechanical sensitivity to impact and friction of the EU test method A.14 define if a substance/mixture has an explosive hazard. UN RTDG test series 3 lead to the decision whether a substance/mixture is too sensitive to mechanical stimuli; so lower limits are stated.
The test conducted on the substance evidenced no explosion under effect of flame and no sensitivity to shock and friction.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
