The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 423 °C in the main test. Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 420 °C.

Conclusions:
The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 423 °C in the main test. Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 420 °C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.15. The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 423 °C in the main test. Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 420 °C.
