Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
not specified
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch no.: SEALS 2011-104-06-01
Key result
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions
Remarks:
the test substance did not reach 400°C by self-heating, instead of that it melted
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance did not reach 400°C by self-heating, instead of that it melted. Therefore, no self-ignition temperature was recorded.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance according to EU method A.16 (relative self-ignition temperature for solids). The practical procedure was conducted according to the in-house test method VTA(S)23N08004.01. A cube was filled with the test substance and then positioned in the centre of the oven at room temperature. One thermocouple was placed at the centre of the cube and the other between the cube and the oven wall to record the oven temperature. The temperatures of the oven and sample were continuously recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 400°C, or to the melting point if lower, at a rate of 0.5°C/min. Under the study conditions, the test substance did not reach 400°C by self-heating, instead of that it melted. Therefore no self-ignition temperature was recorded (Kintrup, 2015).

Description of key information

The auto-flammability was determined according to EU Method A.16 (Kintrup, 2015)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No relative self-ignition temperature identified. (the test substance did not reach 400°C by self-heating, instead melting was observed)
