Evaluation

 

Lowest value from pretest:

220°C

Lowest value for first main test:

208°C

Lowest value for second main test:

206°C

Lowest value for retest:

206°C

 

Lowest value of all main test/retest series: 206°C

 

Correction of the temperature according to the test DKD calibration (06/2015) of the temperature measurement chain (thermocouple + monitor) is already considered (value of -0.5°C).

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition tempereature of 205°C at 998-1011 mbar was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature:  205°C at 998-1011 hPa (DIN 51794)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
205 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature value of 205°C at 998-1011 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

In available secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, an auto-ignition temperature value of 200°C at 1013 hPa was reported for the substance.
