Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 11.11.2008 - 22.01.2009
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)

- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Screening test - Grewen oven

- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- no self ignition observed under the test conditions
- Conclusions:
- The test item melted and no self-ignition temperature was observed up to 435 °C.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item using the Grewer Oven. The test is designed to determine the relative auto-ignition temperature of a product in a hot air-stream (100 - 120 L/h). 8 cm of the test item were placed in a cylindrical fine wire mesh container and in a Grewer oven at 24 °C; the temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample and the reference item (graphite powder) was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 435 °C at a rate of 1.8 °C/min, while a hot air stream was blown through them. The test item showed an endothermic effect in the temperature range of approx. 55 – 80 °C (melting) and no exothermal reaction of the test item was observed up to a maximum temperature of 435 °C. Thus, no self-ignition temperature could be stated.

Additional information
A study was conducted to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item using the Grewer Oven. The test is designed to determine the relative auto-ignition temperature of a product in a hot air-stream (100 - 120 L/h). 8 cm of the test item were placed in a cylindrical fine wire mesh container and in a Grewer oven at 24 °C; the temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample and the reference item (graphite powder) was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 435 °C at a rate of 1.8 °C/min, while a hot air stream was blown through them. The test item showed an endothermic effect in the temperature range of approx. 55 – 80 °C (melting) and no exothermal reaction of the test item was observed up to a maximum temperature of 435 °C. Thus, no self-ignition temperature could be stated (reference 4.12-1).
Additionally, in accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the auto-flammability study does not need to be conducted as the substance is a solid with a melting point <160 °C (reference 4.12-2).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
