Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- July 20, 2015 - July 22, 2015
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: guideline study; UN test N.4 for self-heating substances
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: UN N.4
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- no self ignition observed under the test conditions
- Conclusions:
- The test item has not to be classified as "self-heating substance".
- Executive summary:
The self-heating properties of the test item were determined according to the UN test N.4, described in the “Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Manual of Tests and Criteria”, 5threvised edition 2009.
Due to the fact that a negative result was obtained in the test using a 10 cm sample cube at 140 °C the test item has not to be classified in division 4.2 (self-heating substances) and also has not to be classified as “self-heating substance” according to chapter 2.11[1], category 2of the GHS (CLP) regulations.
[1]Chapter 2.7 of the UN Globally harmonized system of classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS), 4th revised edition, 2011 (UN GHS) and also chapter 2.7 in the CLP regulation 1272/2008 (EU GHS).
Reference
Individual results
In the screening test according to Grewer an exothermal effect was observed starting at 200 °C. Due to this result further tests were necessary to classify (or exclude) the test item as “self-heating substance” of class 4.2 according to the transport regulations.
UN test N.4 for self-heating substances
For the test in the 10 cm cube sample at an oven temperature of 140 °C an amount of 663.9 g of the test item was filled in the sample container. The test item temperature reached the oven temperature after approximately 10 h. A maximum test item temperature of 141 °C was reached. After 35 h the test was stopped.
After the measurement the mesh wire basket contained approximately 2 wt.% less test item than at the start. The remaining test item appeared shrunken and discoloured.
Description of key information
In a first step the self-ignition temperature of the test item was investigated according to the guideline VDI 2263, sheet 1 (Grewer-Oven). Self-ignition was observed at approximately 200 °C. Due to this result further tests are necessary for the classification of the test item as a "self-heating substance".
Therefore, the self-heating properties of the test item were determined according to the UN test N.4 in a second step. Due a negative result in this second test test item has not to be classified in division 4.2 (self-heating substances) and also has not to be classified as “self-heating substance” according to chapter 2.11[1], category 2of the GHS (CLP) regulations.
