Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, no self-ignition of the test substance was seen in air.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted that combined two individual tests, Ignition in Air and Self-heating Properties, in accordance with Methods outlined in the “Recommendations on the TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS - Manual of Tests and Criteria - Third revised edition”. Under the conditions of the study, no self-ignition of the test substance was seen in air.

Additional information

In a hazardous physico-chemical properties study (0370/0352), the relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was determined to be 252 °C, according to EU Test Method A16. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997). The relative self-ignition temperature of the test material was determined to be 252 °C.

In addition, a study was conducted that combined two individual tests, Ignition in Air and Self-heating Properties, in accordance with Methods N2 and N4 of the “Recommendations on the TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS - Manual of Tests and Criteria - Third revised edition”. The study was awarded a reliability score of 4 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997). Under the conditions of the study, no self-ignition of the test substance was seen in air.
