Result of the main test:The first principal test will not be used for the assessment because the lowest auto-ignition temperature deviates more than 10 K from the lowest auto-ignition temperature in the other principal tests. The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 252 °C in the main test. Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 250 °C.

Conclusions:
The auto ignition temperature of the substance is 250°C
Executive summary:

The first principal test will not be used for the assessment because the lowest auto-ignition temperature deviates more than 10 K from the lowest auto-ignition temperature in the other principal tests. The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 252 °C in the main test. Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 250 °C.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature = 260 ± 5°C (102.2 kPa); Tremain & Atwal (2011); EU Method A.15.
Auto-ignition temperature = 250°C (101.6 kPa); Krack (2013); EU Method A.15.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
260 °C

Additional information

The overall endpoint determination for auto-ignition temperature was conducted by heating aliquots of the test item in a flask and observing for any ignition. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A15 Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

The test item has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 260 ± 5°C.
