Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
Not explosive on the basis of an assessment of the structure.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Determination of this endpoint was considered to be scientifically unjustified as silicon nitride contains no functional groups associated with explosivity. Groups directly concerned with explosive properties include: nitrate ester, aromatic nitro, aliphatic nitro, nitramine, azide, nitroso, perchlorate and acetylides according to REACH guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment point R.7.1.11.3.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Silicon Nitride was determined not to posess explosive properties following an assessment of the chemical structure. On this basis it is considered that silicon nitride does not meet the criteria for classification as explosive under either the Classification, Labelling and Packaging regulation, or the Dangerous Substances Directive.
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.
