Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
23 January - 9 March 2018 [several physical-chemical studies]
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Good quality study, conducted to GLP.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 400 °C
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

There was an endothermic reaction of the test item from approximately 100°C, consistent with the presence of water, but no evidence of self-ignition below 400°C.

Conclusions:
in a guideline GLP study, anhydrous calcium nitrite was found not to self-ignite below 400°C.
Executive summary:

In an EU Method A.16 study, conducted according to GLP, anhydrous calcium nitrite showed no signs of self-ignition at up to 400°C.

Description of key information

In an EU Method A.16 study, conducted according to GLP, anhydrous calcium nitrite showed no signs of self-ignition at up to 400°C (Sydney, 2018).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
