- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- When the study plan was prepared the test item was identified by m- & o-terphenyl rxn mass only. Subsequently a batch number and appearance became available and these have been included in the report
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Identification: Reaction mass of m-terphenyl and o-terphenyl
Appearance/Physical state: Cream colored solid
Storage conditions: Approximately 4 °C, under nitrogen in the dark - Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 530 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101 kPa
- Conclusions:
- The test item has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 530 ± 5 °C.Atmospheric pressure: 101.2 to 101.5 kPa.
- Executive summary:
Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) ot the test item was determined according to GLP to be 530 ± 5 °C, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.15 Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Description of key information
Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) ot the test item was determined according to GLP to be 530 ± 5 °C, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.15 Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 530 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
