The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 235 °C according to the Regulation EC 440/2008 Method A.15. Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases).


It is note here that according to ECHA guidance –Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment; chapter R.7A: Endpoint specific guidance, May 2008, the auto-ignition temperature for liquids are not used directly for classification and labeling according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008. However, they can be used in the chemical safety assessment in considering risks associated with processing the substance.


Nevertheless, according to DIN EN 13463-1 the test item has to be assigned to temperature class T3 (see the following Table).
