Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Relative self ignition 282 °C

Executive summary:

The determination of the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item was performed according to the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physicochemical properties, A.16 "Relative self-ignition temperature for solids", EEC Publication No.L383, December 1992.

Applying a linear increase in temperature of about 0.5 °C/min, showed an exothermic reaction starting at about 270 °C. A maximum temperature of 520 °C was measured in the sample cube during the exothermic reaction. At the end of the measurement, the test item was carbonized and coloured black.

The test substance shows a relative self-ignition temperature at about 282 °C.

The test substance is auto-flammable under the conditions of the test.
