Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
October - December 2017
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
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name: 28723 - Ca-Gluconate
- Aggregate state at room temperature: solid
- Colour: white
- Expiry Date: March 27, 2018
- Storage conditions at test facility: at 20 °C ± 5 °C, in the dark
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 400 °C
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

Using a linear increase in temperature of 0.5 °C/min up to about 400 °C, the test item showed no self-ignition reaction. At the end of measurement the test item was solid, the colour was brown-black and the volume of the test item was much more as at the start of the measurement.

Conclusions:
In conclusion, the test item 28723 - Ca-Gluconate is considered to be not auto-flammable, according to the criteria as described in the guide-line.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to provide preliminary information on the auto flammability of the test item at elevated temperatures. The test was performed in accordance with EU test method no. A.16. Using a linear increase in temperature of 0.5 °C/min up to about 400 °C, the test item showed no self-ignition reaction. At the end of measurement the test item was solid, the colour was brown-black and the volume of the test item was much more as at the start of the measurement. In conclusion, the test item is considered to be not auto-flammable, according to the criteria as described in the guideline.
