- 100.86 - 102.23 kPa
- Conclusions:
- This parameter/method is not relevant for classification; however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.

The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was measured under GLP according to IEC 79-4 method (listed in EU A15 guideline).
Different volumes were injected into a heated flask, until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was determined. Volume, time lag for ignition and atmospheric pressure were recorded.
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance is 248°C.
- Endpoint:
- auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- Based on structural similarity (the target substance is one of the constituents of the source substance, together with isomers) and comparing normal flash points, respectively 160°C for the tested substance (multiconstituent, racemate pairs of three isomers; Toxicol 1992), and 173°C for the present dossier (single optical isomer; Firmenich 2010; please refer to IU section 4.11), both substances are not expected to have a significantly different AIT, or the target isomer may be slightly higher. Therefore the result of the study will be considered as a limit value for the target substance.
Further information is included in IUCLID Section 13. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- >= 248 °C
- Atm. press.:
- >= 100.86 - <= 102.23 kPa
- Conclusions:
- This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
(from analogue) No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage. - Executive summary:
The auto-ignition temperature of the analogue test substance was measured, under GLP, according to IEC 79-4 method (listed in EU A15 guideline).
Different volumes were injected into a heated flask, until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was determined. Volume, time lag for ignition and atmospheric pressure were recorded.
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance is 248°C.
A similar, or slightly higher, AIT is anticipated for the target substance.

Description of key information
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage. (from analogue)
AIT = 248°C for the source reaction mass of isomers; expected similar, or slightly higher for the target isomer.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 248 °C
Additional information
No data is available on the dossier substance itself, but a fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU/IEC method and under GLP, is available on an analogue substance (reaction mass of isomers).
Therefore, it is considered as a key study. It should be noted that, due to the multi-isomers nature of the substance tested, this result may refer to the most flammable one.
The present dossier substance is one of the components of the substance tested, together with isomers. Comparing their flash points, it is not anticipated to be more auto-flammable, so the experimental auto-ignition temperature result should be considered as a minimum value.
It is retained as a worst-case key data.
This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
