The measured lowest ignition temperatures of the main test are < 300 °C and do not differ by more than 10 °C, thus the test is satisfactory.

The auto-ignition temperature is defined as the lowest temperature of all single results of the main test, but rounded down to multiples of 5 °C:

Lowest ignition temperatures [°C]:

Test 1: 275;

Test 2: 270;

Test 3: 268;

Auto-ignition temperature: 265 °C

Conclusions:
Auto-ignition temperature (EU method A.15): 265 °C at 1010 hPa.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EU test method A.15 [Directive 92/69/EEC, Official Journal L 383 A 1992] and DIN 51 794.

Auto-ignition temperature: (1010 hPa) 265°C

Description of key information
