Conclusions:
In conclusion, the test substance is auto-ignitable, with an auto-ignition temperature of 210°C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the auto-ignition temperature was performed in accordance with EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, A.15 "Auto-Ignition temperature (liquids and gases, 1992)", DIN 51794 "Bestimmung der Zundtemperatur" (1978) and IEC standard 79-4: Method of test for ignition temperature (1975).

Test substance was injected into a test vessel at a temperature range between 20°C and 246°C. The test was performed in triplicate. A lowest auto-ignition temperature of 214°C was found, with an injection volume of 125 µI. In conclusion, the test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 210°C.

Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted for liquid organic peroxides, because the vapours decompose during the execution of the test

Description of key information

The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature of 210 oC.  This is above the SADT of the substance (50 oC), therefore the endpoint is waived.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
