Reference
Preliminary test
The estimated auto-ignition temperature was 295 °C.
Main study
The results of the main study on the determination of the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance are given in Table below. 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 10 °C.
According to the guidelines, no further testing was required. The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 281 °C. This temperature was rounded off to the nearest multiple of 5 °C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test substance of 280 °C.

Additional information
A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method is available. It is considered as a key study.
This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
