Auto flammability

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

auto-ignition temperature (liquids)

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

10 - 16 November 2015

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Remarks:

The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation was reported. Test substance is adequately specified with purity. Therefore full validation applies.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))

Deviations:

no

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: DIN 51794 (2003): Determination of ignition temperature

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Not applicable

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Remarks:

inspected on January 22 and 23, 2013 / signed on March 22, 2013

Auto-ignition temperature:

245 °C

Atm. press.:

1 004.2 - 1 012.3 hPa

Preliminary Test

In the preliminary test, an ignition was observed at 259 °C

 

Main test

Main test series	Lowest temperatures of an ignition	Highest temperatures without an ignition	Atmospheric pressure
1	254 °C	253 °C	1012.3 hPa
2	257 °C	255 °C	1012.3 hPa
3	248 °C*	247 °C*	1004.2-1011.4 hPa

*pending on the number of drops.

Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 248 °C. Results are within the required range of 10 °C, therefore the validity criterion is fulfilled.

The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 245 °C.

Conclusions:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance has been determined to be 245 °C.
This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding potential additional fire hazard. No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.

Executive summary:

The substance was tested for its autoflammable properties, according to EU method A.15 and Standard DIN 51794. Test substance was injected into a heated flask, until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was determined. The lowest value of the three determinations was retained.

The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance has been determined to be 245 °C at 1004.2-1012.3 hPa.

Description of key information

No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:

245 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized DIN/IEC/EU method, and under GLP, is available. Therefore, 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.
