Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)

Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 270 °C
Remarks on result:
preliminary test

The test substance showed an exothermic reaction starting at 270°C. At this temperature, the test substance increased to > 400 °C (i.e. self-ignition temperature).

A maximum temperature of 530 °C was determined at an oven temperature of 270 °C. The test substance was burned.

Conclusions:
The test item was found to be auto-flammable during the screening test.
Executive summary:

In order to provide preliminary information on the auto-flammability of the substance at elevated temperatures, a study was conducted according to the method A.16 of EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC. The test substance showed an exothermic reaction starting at 270 °C. At this temperature, the test substance increased to > 400 °C (i.e. self-ignition temperature). A maximum temperature of 530 °C was determined at an oven temperature of 270 °C. The test substance was burned.

Description of key information
