Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2006-12-05 - 2006-12-06
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: DIN 51947
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
None
GLP compliance:
no
Auto-ignition temperature:
370 °C
Remarks on result:
other: no details on pressure available

The following three lowest values have been determined:

374.5 °C (first main test)

383 °C (second main test)

380 °C (third main test)

These values are in a range of 20 °C as requested for temperatures >300 °C. The self-ignition temperature is the lowest of the three values above, rounded down to 370°C.

Conclusions:
Self-ignition temperature = 370 °C
Executive summary:

The self-ignition temperature of benzalacetone has been determined to be 370°C (EU method A.15, no GLP, Laus GmbH, 2006).
