Conclusions:
In a relevant and conclusive study, the auto-ignition temperature (AIT) of the test substance was found to be 540 ± 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was studied under GLP in accordance with IEC 60079-20-1, Section 7, “Method of Test for Auto-Ignition Temperature”, but with 5 °C temperature increments rather than the specified 2°C increments. The experiment is considered relevant, adequate and conclusive.

The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance is 540 ± 25 °C.

Description of key information

In a valid, reliable and conclusive study, the auto-ignition temperature (AIT) of the test substance was found to be 540 ± 25 °C.
