Conclusions:

The test item should be considered as autoflammable with a relative self ignition temperature of 365.1 °C.

Executive summary:

A study was performed according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.16 in order to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item with the help of the automatic auto-ignition tester (LAUS, 2018). The auto-flammability behaviour was determined by placing the test item into a stainless steel cube and heating from room temperature to an oven temperature of 365.1 °C with the ZPA-3 oven. The nominal oven temperature was adjusted to 400 °C. As the self ignition at the temperature of 365.1°C was detected, the ZPA3 was stopped automatically. An increase of the temperature of the sample in comparison to that of the oven was detected. Furthermore, signs of ignition were observed. Therefore, the test item Zinc di(benzimidazol-2-yl) disulphide should be considered as auto-flammable with a relative self ignition temperature of 365.1 °C.
