Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was not explosive
Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to EEC method A14. The test substance was subjected to mechanical sensitivity (shock), and thermal sensitivity tests to determine its explosive properties.


BAM Fallhammer test: The test substance was observed to exhibit no reaction at 40 J, therefore considered Negative.


Koenen steel tube test: The test substance was observed to exhibit no reaction at any of the tests, therefore considered Negative.


The test substance was not explosive.
