- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- According to EU Method A.16. GLP study.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Relative self-ignition temperature:
- > 400 °C
- Conclusions:
- The substance is not self-ignitable.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed in accordance with EU Method A.16 and GLP standards. A certain volume of the substance under test is placed in an oven at room temperature; the temperature/time curve relating to condition in the centre of the sample is recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to 400 ºC, or to the melting point if lower, at a rate of 0.5º C/min. The substance did not ignite until the temperature of 400ºC, so the substance was determined to be not self-ignitable.
Reference
The test item did not ignite until the temperature of 400 °C.
Description of key information
Key study: EU Method A.16. GLP study. The substance did not ignited up to 400 ºC, therefore the subtance was considered to be non self-ignitable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Key study: The study was performed in accordance with EU Method A.16 under GLP conditions. A defined volume of the theobromine was placed in an oven at room temperature; the temperature/time curve relating to condition in the centre of the sample is recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to 400 ºC, or to the melting point if lower, at a rate of 0.5º C/min. The substance did not ignite until the temperature of 400ºC, so the substance was determined to be not self-ignitable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
