Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 264 °C.

 

Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 and DIN 51794: The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 260 °C.

Conclusions:
The test substance was determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 260 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Part A.15, DIN EN 14522 (2005) and DIN 51794 (2003) to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance. In a preliminary test the approximately auto-ignition temperature were determined. For the main test three test series were conducted. The temperature determined in the preliminary test was used as starting point for the main test. The temperature was decreased by 2 K until no ignition was observed. According to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.15. and DIN 51794 the auto-ignition temperature is regarded as the lowest temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C at which an ignition is observed in any of the main tests. Therefore the auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 260 °C at 1021.8 to 1024.6 hPa.

Description of key information
