- Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained

- The maximum deviation between the three values was < 20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

- The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 470°C. This temperature was a multiple of 5°C and therefore given as the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance.

Conclusions:
A commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of an aqueous solution of the substance, according to EC, DIN and IEC guidelines and according to GLP principles. The aqueous solution is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 470°C at atmospheric pressures between 1005.9 and 1030.6 hPa.
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
The rationale to read across the data is attached in Section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions
Conclusions:
In accordance with EU Method A.16 (2008) and according to GLP principles the self-ignition temperature of the substance was determined using a temperature programmed laboratory oven, a stainless steel wire mesh cube, NiCr/NiAl thermocouples and a temperature recording device. As no exothermic effect of the test substance was observed, the substance is considered not self-ignitable. This result is read across to the registered substance.

Description of key information

Based on a study conducted with a substance analogue (C12-C14 alkyl derivatives), the substance is considered not self-ignitable.

Aqueous solutions of the substance are auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of approximately 470°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
470 °C

Additional information

The self-ignition temperature of a substance-analogue was determined in accordance with EU Method A.16 (2008) and according to GLP principles.

A freeze dried aqueous solution was used in this study.

Commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of an aqueous solution of the substance, according to EC, DIN and IEC guidelines and according to GLP principles. The rationale to read across the data is attached in Section 13.
