Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18 December 1996 to 22 January 1997
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)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identity: FAT 40557/A
Batch-no.: PV1
Purity: 65 %
Appearance: Solid powder, red-brown
Expiration date: 30 September, 2002
Storage conditions: At room temperature at about 20 °C, away from direct sunlight.
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 400 °C

Applying a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, FAT 40557/A shows no relevant exothermic reaction. At the end of the measurement, the test article was coloured black but was still a powder.

Conclusions:
No self-ignition of the test substance was observed below 400 °C.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study, performed according to EU method A.16, the self-ignition temperature of FAT 40557/A was determined. No self-ignition of the test substance was below 400 °C.

Description of key information

No self-ignition of the test substance was observed below 400 °C.
