Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the auto-ignition temperature of the test material was determined to be 336 ± 5 ºC.
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant auto-ignition temperature study conducted in accordance with standardised guideline EU Method A.15, the auto-ignition temperature of the test material was determined. Under the conditions of the test, the auto-ignition temperature of the substance was determined to be 336 ± 5 ºC.
