Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 283 °C at 99.3-99.7 kPa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Part A A.15 and ASTM E 659 – 15: Standard Test Method for autoignition Temperature of Chemicals to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance. A volume of approximately 100 µL of the test item was dropped into the flask. The temperature of the flask was recorded for 10 minutes following insertion of the sample. After positive ignition occurred at 310 °C, the procedure was repeated using 150 µL and 250 µL samples until the minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. Test temperature, quantity of sample used, ignition delay time and the atmospheric pressure were recorded. The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 283 °C at 99.3-99.7 kPa.

Description of key information
