Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Explosiveness assessed from structural formula
GLP compliance:
no
Key result
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Remarks:
From the structural formula it can be concluded that the substance is not explosive
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to an Expert statement, trisodium EDDS does not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
Executive summary:

The explosive properties of trisodium EDDS have been assessed from its molecular formula.

According to an Expert statement, trisodium EDDS does not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion, and therefore it would not be classified as an explosive substance according to EU CLP regulation.

Description of key information

Trisodium EDDS does not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The explosive properties of trisodium EDDS have been assessed from its molecular formula. According to an Expert statement, trisodium EDDS does not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. Therefore, it can be concluded that trisodium EDDS is not explosive (van Helvoirt, 1993f).

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study (required in section 7.11) does not need to be conducted as there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule.

Justification for classification or non-classification

As trisodium EDDS does not contain any chemically instable or high energetic groups that might lead to an explosion, it would not be classified as an explosive substance according to EU CLP or DSD regulations.
