Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
a) The registered substance is not thermally sensitive according to the definition in the EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, method A. 14. (Result from final report AQura A100015282).
b) The registered substance is not mechanical sensitive with respect to shock according to the definition in the EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, method A.14.
c) The friction sensitivity was not tested because the test item is a liquid.
Executive summary:

The explosive properties are determined according the test method A.14. "Explosive Properties" as described in Directive 92/69/EEC (Official Journal of the European Communities L383A, see e.g.: http://ecb.jrc.ec.europa.eultesting-methods/annex5/). The method comprises three parts:

a) a test of thermal sensitivity (this test is carried out by an external laboratory)

b) a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock

c) a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction (friction sensitivity only in the case of solid substances)

Results

a) The registered substance is not thermally sensitive according to the definition in the EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, method A. 14. (Result from final report AQura A100015282).

b) The registered substance is not mechanical sensitive with respect to shock according to the definition in the EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, method A.14.

c) The friction sensitivity was not tested because the test item is a liquid.
