Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
01 September 2021 to 07 September 2021
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Version / remarks:
2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test material was used in its initial form.
Key result
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point
Remarks:
The melting point was previously determined to be in the range of 200.5 - 205.5 °C

Three consecutive tests were performed. In the course of this study the test item did not self-ignite up to the melting point.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material did not self-ignite up to the melting point.
Executive summary:

The relative self-ignition of the test material was assessed according to EU Method A. 16 and in compliance with GLP using an automatic self-ignition tester. Using this instrument, a certain volume of the test material was placed into an oven at ambient temperature; the temperature/time curve was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased up to the melting point, at a rate of approximately 0.5 °C/min. For the purpose of this test, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400 °C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature.


Under the conditions of this study, the test material did not self-ignite up to the melting point.

Description of key information

Under the conditions of this study, the test material did not self-ignite up to the melting point.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The relative self-ignition of the test material was assessed according to EU Method A. 16 and in compliance with GLP using an automatic self-ignition tester. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
