Auto flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- 1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The hypothesis is based on structural similarity (prop-2-enyl substituent for the source substance instead of prop-1-enyl for the target, i.e. double bond place change) and on compared flash points.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Refer to the Test material section of the source and target records.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
Both substances are not expected to have significantly different AIT, and the read-across is considered suitable.
4. DATA MATRIX
Source 2-Methoxy-4-prop-2-en-1-ylphenol FP = 124°C
Target (E)-2-Methoxy-4-prop-1-en-1-ylphenol FP = 133°C
See Iuclid section 13 for details. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- ca. 380 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 98 508 - 99 608 Pa
- Conclusions:
- (from analogue) The auto-ignition temperature of the target substance is expected to be ca 380°C.
This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding potential additional fire hazard.
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage. - Executive summary:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was measured under GLP according to DIN 51794 standard (listed in EU A.15 guideline).
Test substance was injected into a heated flask, in three independent determinations, and the lowest flask temperature at which ignition occurred was taken as the auto-ignition temperature.
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance has been determined to be 380°C. Read-across is justified as the target substance is structurally similar (double bond place change), and with a similar flash point.
- Endpoint:
- auto-ignition temperature (liquids)

- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 380 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 98 508 - 99 608 Pa
- Conclusions:
- This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding potential additional fire hazard.
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage. - Executive summary:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was measured under GLP according to DIN 51794 standard (listed in EU A.15 guideline).
Test substance was injected into a heated flask, in three independent determinations, and the lowest flask temperature at which ignition occurred was taken as the auto-ignition temperature.
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance has been determined to be 380 °C.

Pre-Determination: 408°C (99473 Pa)
| Experiment | Value | Ignition delay | Drops used | Atmospheric pressure |
| First Test Series | 389°C | 28 s | 5 | 99427 - 99350 Pa |
| Second Test Series | 385°C | 18 s | 4 | 99608 - 99171 Pa |
| Third Test Series | 383°C | 17 s | 4 | 99369 - 98508 Pa |
The lowest value of the auto ignition temperature is 383 °C. This value was determined using 17 drops test item. The test item showed auto ignition after 17 seconds.
The auto ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the lowest values of the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C.
Therefore, the auto ignition temperature is stated as 380 °C.
Description of key information
(from analogue) AIT expected ca 380°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 380 °C
Additional information
No data is available on the substance itself. However, a reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC/DIN method and under GLP, is available on an analogue.
Based on chemical similarity, and compared flash points, no significant difference is anticipated with the present dossier substance, so the read-across is considered justified for a key study.
This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
