The lowest value of the auto-ignition temperature is 463 °C. This value was determined using 16 drops test item. The test item showed auto-ignition after 24 seconds.

The auto-ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the lowest values of the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature is stated as 460 °C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 460 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Part A.15 and DIN 51794 (2003) to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance. In a preliminary test the approximate auto-ignition temperature was determined. For the main test three test series were conducted. The temperature determined in the preliminary test was used as starting point for the main test. The temperature was decreased by 2 - 5 °C until no ignition was observed. According to criteria laid down in Regulation EC No. 440/2008 method A.15 and DIN 51794 the auto-ignition temperature is the lowest value rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 460 °C at 997 -1013 hPa.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 460 °C at 1013 hPa.
