Key result
Remarks on result:
other: The test material did not self-ignite prior to melting at approximately 166°C.

There was no exothermic reaction of the test material below its melting point at approximately 166 °C. It was noted that there was a slight endotherm for the sample at its melting point. Refer to Figure 1 (attached).

Conclusions:
The test material did not self-ignite prior to melting at approximately 166 °C.
Executive summary:

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16.

There was no exothermic reaction of the test material below its melting point at approximately 166 °C. It was noted that there was a slight endotherm for the sample at its melting point.

Description of key information

The test material did not self-ignite prior to melting at approximately 166 °C. There was no exothermic reaction of the test material below its melting point. It was noted that there was a slight endotherm for the sample at its melting point. EU Method A.16, Comb (2003)

Additional information

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the criteria of Klimisch et al. (1997).

The test material did not self-ignite prior to melting at approximately 166 °C. There was no exothermic reaction of the test material below its melting point. It was noted that there was a slight endotherm for the sample at its melting point.
