Conclusion

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was 227 ± 3°C (corrected temperature).

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 227 ± 3°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 227 ± 3°C at 1013 hPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
227 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature value of 227 ± 3°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
