Results

First trial

The preselected auto-ignition temperature was set to 150°C but no ignition occurred during this trial.

 

Second trial

The preselected auto-ignition temperature was set to 350°C.

 

Firstly,VORB program was used with an amount of 5 droplets for each test.

Ignition occurred for a sample temperature of 295.4°C.

 

Then H-A1 program and H-A2 program were conducted.

For the first determination, H-A1 program was performed from 290°C using 5 droplets by decreasing temperature in 5°C steps as ignition occurred.

At 265°C, ignition did not occur so the amount of test item that is injected was modified. Tests were performed with 2 and 8 droplets.

Ignition occurred using 8 droplets and so the temperature was decreased again in 5°C steps.

Tests were then performed continuing to vary the amount of droplets till no ignition occurs whatever the amount of droplets. The last ignition occurred at 260°C using 8 droplets.

 

H-A2 program was then used from 258°C using 8 droplets and the test were continued, in varying the amount of droplets and decreasing the temperature in 2°C steps.

The last ignition occurred at 258°C using 11 droplets and correspond to the first auto-ignition temperature.

 

For the second determination, temperature was then increased to the value obtained with VORB program (295°C) and H-A1 program was performed using 11 droplets. The same operatory mode as for the first determination was performed and the lowest auto-ignition was found at 255°C using 11 droplets.

A third determination was performed as for the second one and a lowest auto-ignition temperature of 255°C with 11 droplets was found.

The lowest value (255°C) was reduced by the absolute deviation calculated using the reproducibility value (1.5% relative) and rounded up to the next 1 °C.

 

A final auto-ignition temperature of 251°C was obtained.

 

The atmospheric pressure was 979 hPa at the beginning of the test and 974 hPa at the end of the test.

- : no auto-ignition

Validity and discussion

Three lowest auto-ignition temperatures were recorded as 258°C, 255°C and 255°C respectively using 11 droplets.

 

As these three temperatures did not differ by more than 2%, these results were considered as valid and the lowest value (255°C) was retained. As described in DIN EN 14522:2005, the final auto-ignition temperature was obtained in reducing the retained value by the absolute deviation calculated using the reproducibility value (1.5% relative) andin rounding it up to the next 1 °C.

The final auto-ignition temperature was found at 251°C between 974 and 979 hPa.

Conclusions:

This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding potential additional fire hazard. No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.

Executive summary:

The study was conducted under GLP according to EU-Method A.15 and DIN EN 14522:2005.

Two trials were conducted. In the first one, the preselected auto-ignition temperature was set to 150°C but no ignition occurred and the test stopped automatically. In the second one, the preselected auto-ignition temperature was set to 350°C and three auto-ignition temperature were recorded: 258°C, 255°C and 255°C, under atmospheric pressure between 974 and 979 hPa. The lowest value (255°C) was reduced by the absolute deviation and rounded up to the next 1 °C.

The final auto-ignition temperature was 251°C.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature = 251°C between 979 and 974 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data for purpose of CSA.

This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding potential additional fire hazard. No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
