Auto flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 14 April 2016 - 22 April 2016
- 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))
- Version / remarks:
- 2008
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- DIN 51794 (Testing of mineral oil hydrocarbons - Determination of ignition temperature)
- Version / remarks:
- 2003-05
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 340 °C
- Atm. press.:
- >= 999.3 - <= 1 019.1 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The auto-ignition temperature for the test item was determined to be 340°C.
- Executive summary:
The auto-ignition temperature for the test item was determined to be 340°C. The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 345°C. According to standard DIN 51794:2003 -05, the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition is observed is rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5 for safety reasons. This study is reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1) as it was performed according to EU Method A.15. Although the study was not performed in compliance with GLP, the test facility is GLP-compliant.

Description of key information
The auto-ignition temperature for the test item was determined to be 340°C. The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 345°C. According to standard DIN 51794:2003 -05, the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition is observed is rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5 for safety reasons.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 340 °C
Additional information
This study is reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1) as it was performed according to EU Method A.15 (2017). Although the study was not performed in compliance with GLP, the test facility is GLP-compliant. According to ECHA guidance "Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment; Chapter R.7A: Endpoint specific guidance" (December 2016), the auto-ignition temperature for liquids is not used directly for classification and labeling according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008, however it can be used in the chemical safety assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
