Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation was reported. Substance ID is adequately specified with purity. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
Version / remarks:

Deviations:
not specified
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
IEC 60079-4 (Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres. Part 4: Method of test for ignition temperature)
Version / remarks:
1987
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
276 °C
Atm. press.:
955 - 985 hPa
Conclusions:
This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for its autoflammable properties, according to EU A15 guideline / IEC79 - 4 standard. The test material was injected into a heated flask, until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was determined.

The test item has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 276±5°C.

Description of key information

No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage..

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
276 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted under GLP according to a recognized EU method, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
