Conclusions:
The mean auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 437 °C ± 3 °C.
Executive summary:


A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 92/69 method A.15 and DIN 51794 to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance. Twelve injections of the test item were made around the auto-ignition point, which was determined in a preliminary test. Five values, in temperature steps of 1 to 3 °C maximum were recorded until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was obtained. Therefore, the mean auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 437 °C at 97.4 kPa.
