Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name of test material: Sodium phenylacetate
- IUPAC name: Sodium 2-phenylacetate
- Molecular formula: C8H7NaO2
- Molecular weight: 158.1313 g/mole
- Smiles : c1(ccccc1)CC(=O)[O-].[Na+]
- Inchl: 1S/C8H8O2.Na/c9-8(10)6-7-4-2-1-3-5-7;/h1-5H,6H2,(H,9,10);/q;+1/p-1

Key result
Remarks on result:
other: Sodium phenylacetate ignites only when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950°C is brought in contact with it.Thus it can be concluded that substance is flammable only at high temperature of about 950°C.
Conclusions:
Sodium phenylacetate did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C and pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that Sodium phenylacetate is not auto-flammable.
Executive summary:

Sodium phenylacetate did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C and pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that Sodium phenylacetate is not auto-flammable.
