The measured lowest ignition temperatures of the main test are <300 °C and do not differ by more than 10 °C, thus the test is satisfactory.
The auto-ignition temperature is defined as the lowest temperature of all single results of the main test, but rounded down to multiples of 5 °C.

Additional information
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EU test method A.15 [Directive 92/69/EEC, Official Journal L 383 A 1992] Auto-ignition temperature: (1001 hPa) 215 °C.
According to (1), the phenomenon of self-heating applies only to solids, liquids are not classified as self-heating. Thus, no classification requirements are associated with this result.
