Conclusions:
The auto ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 250 °C.
Executive summary:

A GLP study was conducted to determine the auto flammability of the test item according to EU Method A.15. In the preliminary test, fuming was observed at temperatures above 276 °C at 99482. In the main test, auto ignition temperatures during test 1, 2 and 3 were observed to be 255, 257 and 252 °C at 99522, 99663 and 99353 Pa, respectively.

 

The auto ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 250 °C.

Description of key information

The auto ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 250°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
250 °C

Additional information

Key study well described conducted in accordance with GLP and EU-Method A.15 without any deviation. Therefore a reliable of 1 is assigned and the result of this key study can be used as key value for chemical safety assessment.
