- Executive summary:
Auto-ignition was determined according to EU Method A.15, DIN 51794 and DIN EN 14522 (2017). The study was not performed under GLP, however the test facility was GLP-compliant. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1). The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 215 °C at 1021.1 to 1022.1 hPa.

- 215 °C
Additional information
Auto-ignition was determined according to EU Method A.15, DIN 51794 and DIN EN 14522 (2017). The study was not performed under GLP, however the test facility was GLP-compliant. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1). The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 215°C at 1021.1 to 1022.1 hPa. According to ECHA guidance "Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment; Chapter R.7A: Endpoint specific guidance" (December 2016), the auto-ignition temperature for liquids is not used directly for classification and labeling according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008, however it can be used in the chemical safety assessment. According to DIN EN 13463 the test item is classified as temperature class T3.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
