Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From May 24, 2061 to May 25, 2016

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with national standard methods

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: UN-Test Method N.4

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Tests are performed to determine if the substances in a 25 mm or 100 mm sample cube, at test temperature of 100, 120, or 140°C, undergo spontaneous ignition or dangerous self-heating, which is indicated by 60°C rise in temperature over the oven temperature within 24 hours.

GLP compliance:

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Batch 145
Appearance white granula solid

Key result

Remarks on result:

other: no self ignition observed under test conditions

Sample cube                    Temperature oven                 Max. Temp. sample                  Result: Self-heating yes/no

100 mm                             140°C                                       138°C                                           No

The classsification, based on the test results of the self-heating substances, is to be made according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 of the Europeen Parliament and of the Council on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, no self-ignition temperature could be determined and the substance was not classified as a self-heating substance.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the self-ignition temperature of the test substance according to the test method N.4 (test method for self-heating substances) as described in the UN Recommendations of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criterian part III, sub-section 33.3.1.6. Tests are performed to determine if the substances in a 25 mm or 100 mm sample cube, at test temperatures of 100, 120, or 140°C, undergo spontaneous ignition or dangerous self-heating, which is indicated by 60°C rise in temperature over the oven temperature within 24 hours. The test substance was filled to the brim of the samples cube. The sample cube was housed in a cubic container made from a stainless steel net and was stored at the selected temperature in the center of a hot-air circulated drying cabinet. The temperature of the sample and the oven was recorded during the heat storage. A positive result was obtained if spontaneous ignition occured or if the temperature of the sample exceeded the oven temperature by 60°C during the 24 hour test time. Otherwise, the result was considered negative. Under the study conditions, no self-ignition temperature could be determined and the substance was not classified as a self-heating substance (Kintrup 2016).

Description of key information

The relative self-ignition temperature was determined according to the UN Test Method N.4 (Kintrup, 2016)
