Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
DIN 51794 (Testing of mineral oil hydrocarbons - Determination of ignition temperature)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
DIN EN 14522, Method P (Determination of the auto ignition temperature of gases and vapours)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Auto-ignition temperature:
372.8 °C
Atm. press.:
996.3 hPa

In the preliminary test, an ignition was observed at 382°C.

Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 372.8°C.

Regulation EC No. 440/2008 and DIN 51794: The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5°C was determined as 370°C.

DIN EN 14522: The auto-ignition temperature reduced by 1.5% and rounded to the nearest integer temperature was determined as 367°C.

The test material has an auto-ignition temperature of 372.8°C according to the Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.15. Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) and DIN 51794 (2003): Determination of Ignition Temperature.

It is noted here that according to ECHA guidance – Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment; chapter R.7A: Endpoint specific guidance, October 2015 – the auto-ignition temperature for liquids is not used directly for classification and labeling according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008. However, it can be used in the chemical safety assessment in considering risks associated with processing the substance.
