key study
Study period:
23rd Feburary - 26th March 2010
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete reporting or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))

no
GLP compliance:
yes
Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
278 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101 325 Pa
Remarks on result:
other: Pressure not reported so typical atmospheric pressure of ca. 101325 Pa is assumed.
Conclusions:
The auto ignition temperature of shale oil, middle fraction is 278 ºC.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.15, under GLP conditions.

Under the conditions of the study, the auto ignition temperature of shale oil, middle fraction was determined to be 278 ºC.

Description of key information
