Conclusion:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was 294 ± 3°C (corrected temperature).

 

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 294 ± 3°C at 98.4 kPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 294 ± 3°C at 98.4 kPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
294 °C

Additional information

A measured auto-ignition temperature value of 294 ± 3°C at 98.4 kPa was determined for the registered substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, auto-ignition temperature values of 280°C and 290°C were reported for the substance.
