Results and discussion

Auto-ignition temperature (liquids / gases)
Remarks on result:
other: No exothermic effect of the test substance was observed. After the experiment, the test substance seemed to have been unchanged (i.e. no melting, reaction and/or decomposition were observed).
Relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Remarks on result:
other: No exothermic effect of the test substance was observed. After the experiment, the test substance seemed to have been unchanged (i.e. no melting, reaction and/or decomposition were observed).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The self-heating temperature of the test substance was determined by Test 1 of the Modified Bowes-Cameron Cage test. Based on the results obtained, the test substance is considered "not a self-heating substance."
