Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2021-08-02 to 2021-08-04
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- no self ignition observed under the test conditions
- Conclusions:
- The test item showed no self-ignition temperature up to the maximum test temperature of 402 °C, according to the testing guideline for auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature) in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.16.
- Executive summary:
The test item showed no self-ignition temperature up to the maximum test temperature of 402 °C, according to the testing guideline for auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature) in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.16.
Reference
2.89 g of the test item were filled into the stainless steel wire mesh cube and placed in the oven at 29 °C.
The test item showed a small endothermal effect in the temperature range of 40 – 50 °C, which correlates to the melting of the test item (melting point at 44.9 °C according to OECD 102).
Starting at approximately 140 °C the temperature of the test item was continuously slightly above the oven temperature. This observation was probably due to the fact that, because of the melting of the test item, the temperature sensor was in the empty wire mesh cube.
Additionally, a non-significant exothermal effect was observed in the temperature range of 240 – 260 °C. No further endothermal or exothermal effects were observed up to the final test temperature of 402 °C.
After the test the wire mesh cube was empty.
Description of key information
The test item showed no self-ignition temperature up to the maximum test temperature of 402 °C, according to the testing guideline for auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature) in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.16.

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.
