The mean self-ignition temperature of the test item was: 364 °C ± 6 °C (corrected temperature).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The mean self-ignition temperature of the test item was: 364 °C ± 6 °C (corrected temperature).
Executive summary:

The objective of the test is to determine the minimum temperature of the inner surface of an enclosure that results in ignition of a liquid injected into the enclosure.

The determination of the self-ignition temperature was performed according to the Regulation (EC) n°440/2008, A.13: “SELF-IGNITION TEMPERATURE FOR LIQUIDS”, May 2008.

The mean self-ignition temperature of the test item was: 364 °C ± 6 °C (corrected temperature).
