Tris(nitrato-O)nitrosylruthenium

Auto flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (solids)

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: GLP compliant, guideline study, available as unpublished report, acceptable without restrictions

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

other: N4 (Modified Method) Self Heating Substances

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

the test item was only available in very limited amounts and was extremely expensive. Therefore, in order to obtain as much information as possible on the self-heating properties of the test item a modified procedure was employed

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Remarks on result:

no self ignition observed under the test conditions

There were no signs of self-ignition or self heating over the duration of the test.

Conclusions:

Tris(nitrato-O)nitrosylruthenium showed no signs of self-ignition or self-heating over the duration of the test. A negative result was obtained.

Executive summary:

This is a GLP compliant, guideline study considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Tris(nitrato-O)nitrosylruthenium showed no signs of self-ignition or self-heating over the duration of the test.

Description of key information

Tris(nitrato-O)nitrosylruthenium showed no signs of self-ignition or self-heating over the duration of the test. A negative result was obtained.

Additional information

Atwal and Tremain (2011) is a GLP compliant study following a modifie N4 method and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Tris(nitrato-O)nitrosylruthenium showed no signs of self-ignition or self-heating over the duration of the test.
