Description of key information

Non explosive, EU Method A.14, Comb (2003)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The explosive properties of the test material were investigated under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.14. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the criteria of Klimisch et al. (1997).

The test material was concluded to not possess any explosive properties.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to explosivity.

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex VI, Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD), the substance does not require classification with respect to explosivity.
