Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From February 16, 2007 to February 21, 2007
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
KL2 due to RA

Refer to the Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) category or section 13 of IUCLID for details on the category justification.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Version / remarks:
Cited as Directive 92/69/EEC, A.16
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 403 °C
Remarks on result:
no self ignition observed under the test conditions

No autoignition temperature was observed up to the maximum test temperature of 403°C.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, no autoignition temperature was observed for the test substance up to the maximum test temperature of 403°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the autoignition of the read across substance, C12-16 ADBAC (94.4% active) according to EU Method A.16, in compliance with GLP. Height cm3 (3.8 g) of the read across substance was placed in an oven at 24°C; the temperature time curve relating to conditions in the center of the sample was recorded while the temperature of the oven was increased to 400°C at a rate of 0.5°C/min. The temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reaches 400°C by self-heating is called the autoignition temperature for the purpose of this test. Under the study conditions, no autoignition temperature was observed for the read across substance up to the maximum test temperature of 403°C (Moller, 2007).

Description of key information

The self-ignition temperature was determined for the read across substance, C12-16 ADBAC, according to EU Method A.16 (Moller, 2007).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
403 °C

Additional information

Based on the results of the read across study, no self-ignition is expected to occur up to the maximum test temperature of 403°C.
