- Executive summary:
The auto flammability property (self-ignition temperature) of the test substance was investigated using EU method A15 "Auto-ignition temperature (liquids and gases)". Using this method, the self-ignition temperature of the test subtance was determined at 430±5 °C.

Description of key information
The auto flammability (i.e., the self-ignition temperature) of Isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate was 430±5 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 430 °C
Additional information
Auto flammability (i.e., the self-ignition temperature) of the test substance investigated according to EU method A15 was to be 430°C at atmospheric pressure.
A 200 mL Erlenmeyer flask of borosilicate glass is enclosed within a cylindrical furnace capable of maintaining the surfaces of the flask at a uniform, constant temperature. The surface temperatures are monitored by means of thermocouples in contact with the base, side and neck of the flask. A known quantity of the test substance was added to the flask, the interior of which was then observed for signs of ignition of the vapours. The delay time from the addition of the test substance to ignition was recorded.
The test was carried out at different temperatures, using a range of sample quantities, in order to establish the lowest temperature at which self-ignition occurs for any sample quantity.
The final confirmatory tests to establish the ignition/no ignition temperatures were made at 5°C increments, using maximum observation periods of 5 min. Each series of confirmatory tests, covering a range of sample quantities, was carried out 5 times to demonstrate a repeatability of ±5°C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
