Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 250 °C.
Executive summary:

An experimental study was conducted to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test item according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 and DIN 51794. The study was conducted by means of a Auto-Ignition Temperature Tester Apparatus following EU-Method A.15. For every ignition trial, program-controlled sample dropping was performed by the automatic sample injector. Each ignition trial was run for five minutes, or shorter, if ignition is detected by the instrument. According to the result of a trial, the next step according to DIN 51794 was chosen. The auto-ignition temperature was determined in three test series. The lowest auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 250 °C.

Description of key information
