Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 305°C. This temperature was a multiple of 5°C and therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of the substance, in accordance with EC, DIN and IEC guidelines and according to GLP principles. The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 305°C at 1002.5 – 1015.2 hPa.
