Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1994-02-18 to 1994-03-02
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The EU Method A.15 is applicable to gases, liquids and vapours which, in the presence of air, can be ignited by a hot surface. Since the substances melts at 51.9 °C, the test system is considered as valid for that test item.
