Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental Phase: 09 July 2020 to 10 July 2020.
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
The test item was heated to 400 °C in the relative self-ignition test which was above the melting temperature of the test item. This deviation is considered to have not affected the integrity or validity of the study.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

The test item was a light brown powder. Whilst heating the test item, no relevant exothermic reaction /self-heating of the sample was been observed. On completion of the test, there was a light grey residue.

Conclusions:
The test item has been determined to not have a relative self-ignition temperature below its melting temperature.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The Relative Self-Ignition Temperature of the substance was assessed using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.16 Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Method

 

Test System

 Oven: A temperature programmed laboratory oven with a Eurotherm temperature controller Wire mesh.

Cube: A piece of stainless-steel wire mesh with 0.042 mm openings was cut, folded and secured with wire into an open topped cube with dimensions of 2 x 2 x 2 cm.

Thermocouples: Type K thermocouples Recorder: Graphtec GL200a data logger

Performance of the Test

The cube was completely filled with the test item and placed in the centre of the oven at room temperature. A thermocouple was placed in the centre of the sample and another in the oven. The oven temperature was programmed to increase from ambient to 400 °C (at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. The temperature/time curves relating to the condition in the centre of the sample and the oven were recorded on a data logger. Before and after the test the appearance of the test item was recorded.

Results

The test item was a light brown powder. Whilst heating the test item, no relevant exothermic reaction /self-heating of the sample was been observed. On completion of the test, there was a light grey residue.

Conclusion

The test item has been determined to not have a relative self-ignition temperature below its melting temperature.
