Reference
Expert Statement
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item is determined using a commercially available auto-ignition temperature apparatus (Chilworth Technology, Southampton, UK). The system is applicable to test items with an auto-ignition temperature in the range 75°C ‑ 650°C.
In every ignition test, liquefied test item has to be introduced into a preheated test vessel using a volumetric pipette. The test iten however is too viscous to be pipetted. Therefore, it is technically not possible to determine the auto-ignition temperature.
Description of key information
In accordance with Section 2 of REACH Annex XI, testing was omitted because it is technically not possible to conduct the study as a consequence of the properties of the substance. A statement was prepared according to the EC A.15 and DIN 51794 guidelines and according to the principles of GLP.

Additional information
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
