Main test

Ignition of the test substance within 5 minutes after introduction was observed with each sample volume and with each test a minimum auto-ignition temperature was obtained. The maximum deviation between the three values was  20°C. According to the guidelines, no further testing was required.

The lowest temperature at which ignition of the test substance occurred was 429°C. This temperature was rounded off to the nearest multiple of 5°C giving an auto-ignition temperature of the test substance of 425°C.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature at 1004.0 - 1020.0 hPa of 425°C.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the auto flammability of the test substance according to EU Method A.15 and following protocols: DIN Guide 51794 and IEC standard 79-4. Commercially available auto-ignition temperatures apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of the test substance. Under the study conditions, the test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature at 1004.0 - 1020.0 hPa of 425°C (Baltussen, 2008).

Description of key information

The auto flammability was determined according to EU Method A.15 and following protocols: DIN Guide 51794 and IEC standard 79-4 (Baltussen, 2008).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
425 °C
