Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- from 2003-12-18 to 2004-03-09
- 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)
- Version / remarks:
- 92/69
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Lot/batch No.of test material: 0306-8715A
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 2006-07 - Key result
- Remarks on result:
- no self ignition observed under the test conditions
- Conclusions:
- Using a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5°C/min, the test item showed no exothermic reaction. The test item is considered to be not auto-flammable.
- Executive summary:
A study according to EU method A.16 (EC 92/69) was conducted to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item. The tests were started from ambient oven temperature. The temperature of the oven and sample were continuously recorded with a thermosensor while the temperature of the oven was increased at a rate of approximately 0.5 °C/min, the temperature of the sample was increased by about 0.5 °C/min up to 400 °C. In the course of this study the test item did not self-ignite up to this temperature. Thus, no self-ignition temperature could be stated.
