Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
17 August 2001 to 25 August 2001
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)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point

The cube was empty. A pool of melted material was observed on the floor of the oven.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the test material was determined not to have a relative self-ignition temperature below its melting temperature.
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant relative self-ignition temperature study conducted in accordance with standardised guideline EU Method A.16, the relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was determined. Under the conditions of the study, the test material was determined not to have a relative self-ignition temperature below its melting temperature.

Description of key information

The test material was determined not to have a relative self-ignition temperature below its melting temperature according to a study performed in line with  EU Method A.16.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The key study (Tremain, 2001) was performed in line with GLP and a standardised guideline with a sufficient level of detail to assess the quality of the study. The study was performed to a good standard and was assigned a reliability score of 1 using the principle for assessing data quality as set out in Klimisch (1997).
