Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Referenceopen allclose all
Measurement of auto-ignition temperature was determined using an instrument/procedure which operates at ambient atmospheric pressure. The ambient barometric pressure associated with this measurement was not reported, but is assumed to be at/near the standard pressure of 1013 hPa.
Description of key information
The auto-flammability is determined by the constituent Bisphenol A with a lower auto-ignition temperature of 510°C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 510 °C
Additional information
The auto-ignition temperature of phenol is reported to be 715°C.
The auto-ignition temperature of Bisphenol A is 510 °C at 1013 hPa.
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).
