Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)

Deviations:

not specified

GLP compliance:

no

Remarks on result:

no self ignition observed under the test conditions

Remarks:

An endothermic effect was observed at 41 °C. The wire mesh basket was empty after the measurement. No exothermic effects were recorded at temperatures up to the endothermic effect.

Conclusions:

no self-ignition observed under the test condidtions

Executive summary:

The auto-flammability of thymol was determined in a non-GLP study according to EU Method A.16. The test substance does not undergo spontaneous combustion. An endothermic effect was observed at 41 °C. The wire mesh basket was empty after the measurement. No exothermic effects were recorded at temperatures up to the endothermic effect.
