Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 416 °C.

The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 415 °C.

Conclusions:
The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 415 °C.
Executive summary:

According to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 method A.15. and DIN 51794 the auto-ignition temperature is regarded as the lowest temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C at which an ignition is observed in any of the main tests. The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 415 °C.

According to DIN EN 14522 the auto-ignition temperature is regarded as the lowest temperature reduced by 1.5 % and rounded to the nearest integer temperature at which an ignition is observed in any of the main tests.The auto-ignition temperature reduced by 1.5 % and rounded to the nearest integer temperature was determined as 409 °C.

Description of key information

The auto flammability of the test item is determined to be 415 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
