Explosiveness

Administrative data

Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Study period:

From 11 OCTOBER 2018 to 29 OCTOBER 2018

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

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is an organic substance or mixture containing chemical groups associated with explosive properties, but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500°C

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
[Specific explanation in addition to field 'Justification for data waiving']
A screening test via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) was conducted from
0°C to 520 °C.
During the DSC run two small exothermal events were observed at an onset of 382.70°C
and of 383.91°C this was integrated to derive the related energy (in J/g). The related energy of the observed exothermal event was -0.55 J/g and -4.54 J/g.
Based on the exothermal events, it is stated:
- As the released energy is less than 300 J/g, the test item is no subject to the classification procedures for self-reactive substances. (TDG/MTC*, 6th edition, 2015, §20.2.1).
- And as the released energy is less than 500 J/g, the acceptance procedures for Class 1 explosives need not to be applied. (TDG/MTC*, 6th edition, 2015, Appendix VI §3.3.c).
according to the “UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; Manual of
Tests and Criteria”; sixth revised edition, 2015, Section 20.2.1, 20.3.3.3 and Appendix 6,
section 3.3.c.
