Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 27 APR 2021
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Relative self-ignition temperature:
- 281.2 °C
- Conclusions:
- A sharp increase in the temperature of the test substance in comparison to that of the oven could be detected; also signs of ignition could be observed.
The test item is considered as auto-flammable with a relative self-ignition temperature of 281.2 °C under the test conditions. - Executive summary:
The self-ignition temperature of the test item was assessed in a non-GLP study according to EU Method A.16. A sharp increase in the temperature of the test substance in comparison to that of the oven could be detected; also signs of ignition could be observed. The test item is considered as auto-flammable with a relative self-ignition temperature of 281.2 °C under the test conditions.

Temperature Data
The temperatures which were measured in the experiment are presented in the following table. As many values were recorded, only the values every 60 minutes are presented.
| Time [min.] | Temperature of test item [°C] | Temperature of oven [°C] |
| 5 (Start) | 22.8 | 21.4 |
| 60 | 38.0 | 52.0 |
| 120 | 63.5 | 88.7 |
| 180 | 104.8 | 124.3 |
| 240 | 140.7 | 159.2 |
| 300 | 183.7 | 194.3 |
| 360 | 251.0 | 238.4 |
| 420 | 267.3 | 262.8 |
| 480 | 400.0 | 281.2 |
After the test, the test item was darker and clumped together.
A sharp increase in the temperature of the test substance in comparison to that of the oven could be detected; also signs of ignition could be observed.
The test item is considered as auto-flammable with a relative self-ignition temperature of 281.2 °C under the test conditions.
Description of key information
The self-ignition temperature of the test item was assessed in a non-GLP study according to EU Method A.16. A sharp increase in the temperature of the test substance in comparison to that of the oven could be detected; also signs of ignition could be observed. The test item is considered as auto-flammable with a relative self-ignition temperature of 281.2 °C under the test conditions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 281.2 °C
Additional information
No pressure indicated in the study, but room conditions were available. A slight difference from the standard pressure (1013.25 hPa) does not affect the result of the study.
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).
