The self-ignition temperature for the test substance was 368 °C (lowest self-ignition temperature), with an injection volume of 100 µl and a time lag of 8 s.

In accordance with DIN 51794, the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs in the test was rounded down to the nearest 5°C and is given as the final self-ignition temperature.

 

In conclusion, the test substance is auto-flammable under the conditions of the test, with a self-ignition temperature of 365 °C.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature of 365°C was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.
