Description of key information
Silver cyanide showed no signs of self-ignition or self-heating when the test item was held at 140°C for 24 hours. However, when the test item was heated from 140 to 400°C, the sample temperature exceeded the oven temperature by greater than 60°C at an oven temperature of approximately 355°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
This is a GLP-compliant, guideline study which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint (Harlan Laboratories 2011). Self-heating was assessed using a modified test method based on UN test N4 and EU test A16, which is considered to produce equally robust results as the standard method but uses less volume of test substance. Due to the limited availability and high cost of the test material, which may not always be manufactured on a regular basis, this modified method was used.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
