Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- February and March 2018
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study

- Executive summary:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was measured according to NF T 20-037 method (listed in EU A15 guideline).
Test material was injected into a heated flask, until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was determined. The relevant parameters (volume, time lag, atmospheric pressure) were recorded for the final result. The lowest value of five consistent replicates was retained.
The test substance has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 274 °C.
Reference
Preliminary test
The lowest auto-ignition temperature was found around 275 °C (corrected value) with a volume of 150 μL. Time lag was 106 seconds, atmospheric pressure was 97.9 kPa, and 34% relative humidity.
Main test
The volume of test item injected in the oven was 150 μL.
Only the self ignition runs for each assay are summarized in the table below:
| Assay n° | Auto-Ignition Temperature (corrected) °C | Time lag (s) | Atmospheric pressure (kPa) | Relative humidity (%) |
| 1 | 274 | 123 | 97.4 | 44 |
| 2 | 274 | 117 | 97.3 | 40 |
| 3 | 277 | 97 | 97.2 | 31 |
| 4 | 276 | 123 | 97.1 | 32 |
| 5 | 275 | 98 | 97.0 | 27 |
For safety reasons, the retained Ignition temperature was the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs, i.e. 274 °C ± 3 °C (corrected temperature ± accuracy).
Description of key information
Experimental Auto-Ignition Temperature = 274 °C under 97.3 kPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 274 °C
Additional information
A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU/NF method, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
