Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
9 October 2017 to 11 October 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Version / remarks:
version 2008

Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
240 °C

Three replicate tests were performed. The average of the measured data was reported. The average relative self-ignition temperature of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lysate was observed at 240°C. The minimum value of the replicate tests was 235°C.

Conclusions:
Relative self-ignition temperature of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lysate was observed at 240°C.
Executive summary:

Auto-flammability temperature of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lysate was determined according to the EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids) and in compliance with GLP.

A specific amount of the test substance is placed in an oven, in a wire-mesh cube at room temperature; the temperature difference/time curve of the sample of test item is recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to 400°C at a rate of 0.5°C/min. For the purpose of this test, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature.

Three replicate tests were performed. The test was carried out at about 98.0 – 98.3 kPa atmospheric pressure.

The relative self-ignition temperature of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lysate was observed at 240°C.

This auto-flammability study is classified as acceptable, and satisfies the guideline requirements of the EU method A.16.

Description of key information
