Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A certain volume of the test item under the assay was placed into an oven at ambient
temperature; the temperature/time curve was recorded while the temperature of the oven was
increased up to the melting point, at a rate of approximately 0.5 °C/min. For the purpose of
this test, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400 °C by
self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature.
Three replicate tests were performed.
In the course of this study the test item 4-Nitrobenzic acid did not self-ignite up to the
melting point. Thus, no self-ignition temperature could be stated.
Executive summary:

Three consecutive tests were performed. A temperature-time curve can be seen in Figure 1.
In the course of this study the test item 4-Nitrobenzic acid did not self-ignite up to the melting
point (237 - 240 °C, based on Material Safety Data Sheet, provided by the Sponsor). Thus, no
self-ignition temperature could be stated.
