- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 395 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 000.2 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 395°C at 1000.2 hPa.
- Executive summary:
In the current study the auto-ignition temperature of the test item was assessed according to the Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.15. Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases).
The test determines the lowest temperature at which a gas/air- or vapour/air-mixture of the flammable test item ignites in contact with a hot surface. The lowest temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C is determined at which the test item ignites.
The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 395°C at 1000.2 hPa (EU A.15 criterium).

Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 400 °C.
The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 395 °C (EU A.15).
Description of key information
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EU method A.15. The self-ignition temperature was found to be 395°C at 1000.2 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 395 °C
