Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
Screening information on the auto-flammability potential of solid substances at elevated temperatures according to EU-method A.16 is provided. According to "column 2" in Annex VII, of REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006, no further studies need to be conducted if these preliminary results do exclude self-heating of the substance up to 400 °C.
Results:
Relative self-ignition temperature (EU-method A.16): >400 °C; no self-ignition observed, the test-item is not auto-flammable.
In conclusion, no further information on auto-flammability is needed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 400 °C
Additional information
EU-Method A.16 was performed to attain screening information on the auto-flammability potential of the solid submission substance at elevated temperatures. Using a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, the test item showed no relevant exothermic reaction. A slight exothermic effect was recorded at about 320 °C with the peak at 330 °C oven temperature (367 °C maximum sample temperature, i.e. 37 °C higher than the oven temperature). Afterwards, the sample temperature was approaching oven temperature within approximately 1 hour. This slight exothermic effect is not due to self-heating of the test item, because this oven temperature (330 °C) already approximately corresponds to the decomposition temperature (350 °C) of the submission substance. At the end of the measurement the test item was carbonized and coloured black.
According to (1), data from EU-method A.16 may be evaluated on the basis of the raw data in analogy to the Grewer Oven Test, and can then be used as a screening test on self-heating properties. The careful and detailed evaluation of the time-temperature plot attached to the study report conclusively demonstrates that for the submission substanceno classification requirements do exist with regard to self heating according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
