Based on the absence of reactive groups and the outcome of a calorimetric test as mentioned above under Test Materials section, the substance is not classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the substance was considered to be not explosive and does not have a potential for a rapid energy release.

Description of key information

Based on the absence of reactive groups and the outcome of a calorimetric test according to a method equivalent to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999), the substance is not classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed (RCC Ltd, 2001).
BAEE was concluded not to have explosive properties following a theoretical assessment in a GLP study according to test method EC A.14 (statement) (Shajad Younis, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Reactive groups

The appraisal of the molecular structure indicates no risk of rapid decomposition. The substance does not contain any of the structural features mentioned in the UN Recommendations. This theoretical result is supported by the physical properties of the test substance determined.

Calorimetric test:

The exothermic decomposition energy was determined using Differential Scanning Calorimetry in a closed, gold plated high pressure vessel (DSC). One sharp peak was observed at about 250 deg C with decomposition energy of 226 J/g. this peak is followed by a flat exothermic reaction peak at about 300 deg C. The total of their decomposition energy (∆H Dec) determined between room temperature and 500 deg C was found to be about 260 J/g thus being significantly below the UN limit of 500 J/g.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance needs not to be classified as explosive as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
