Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
March from the 06th to the 10th, 2014
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test Item was used in its initial form.
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions
Remarks:
up to 400 °C

No self-ignition temperature was observed up to the temperature of decomposition (determined to 272 °C, i.e. 545 K in a specific separated test).

An unknown exothermic reaction was detected at about 431 min, however it cannot be considered self-ignition because the temperature of the sample did not reach 400 °C.

Conclusions:
No self-ignition temperature was recorded up to 400 °C
Executive summary:

A certain volume of the test item under the assay was placed in an oven at room temperature; the temperature /time curve was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. For the purpose of the test, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400 °C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature. Three replicate tests were performed.

No self-ignition temperature was observed up to the temperature of decomposition (determined to 272°C, i.e. 545 K in a specific separated test). An unknown exothermic reaction was detected at about 431 min, however it cannot be considered self-ignition because the temperature of the sample did not reach 400 °C.

Conclusion

No self-ignition temperature was recorded up to 400 °C

Description of key information

No self-ignition temperature was recorded up to 400 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment
