Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1 August 2012 to 23 August 2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
other: read across target
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
262 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No data on pressure reported. Determination assumed to be performed at normal atmospheric pressure.

The test material was a white solid. Whilst heating the test material, self-heating of the sample was observed. On completion of the test, the test material was a fused white solid.

Conclusions:
The test material was determined to have a relative self-ignition temperature of 262 °C.
Executive summary:

The relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in a GLP study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16. During the study a wire mesh cube was completely filled with the test material and placed in the centre of an oven at room temperature. A thermocouple was placed in the centre of the sample and another in the oven. The oven temperature was increased from ambient to 400 °C at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. The test material was a white solid. Whilst heating the test material, self-heating of the sample was observed. On completion of the test, the test material was a fused white solid. The test material was determined to have a relative self-ignition temperature of 262 °C.

Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Justification for type of information:
Read-across to structurally similar substance sodium periodate (CAS 7790-28-5). Sodium periodate is the sodium salt of periodic acid.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
262 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No data on pressure reported. Determination assumed to be performed at normal atmospheric pressure.

The test material was a white solid. Whilst heating the test material, self-heating of the sample was observed. On completion of the test, the test material was a fused white solid.

Description of key information

Self-heating of the substance was observed during the test, the relative self-ignition temperature was determined to be 262 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
262 °C

Additional information

The relative self-ignition temperature of the read across substance, sodium periodate, was investigated in a GLP study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.16. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the principles for assessing data quality as outlined by Klimisch et al (1997), however, since the data is available on a read across substance an overall reliability score of 2 is considered appropriate. Sodium periodate is considered to be a suitable substance for read across since it is the sodium salt of periodic acid.

During the study a wire mesh cube was completely filled with the test material and placed in the centre of an oven at room temperature. A thermocouple was placed in the centre of the sample and another in the oven. The oven temperature was increased from ambient to 400 °C at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. The test material was a white solid. Whilst heating the test material, self-heating of the sample was observed. On completion of the test, the test material was a fused white solid. The test material was determined to have a relative self-ignition temperature of 262 °C.
