Description of key information

No self-ignition possible

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Testing for this endpoint has been waived in accordance with column 2 restrictions. The submission item category members do not contain elements such as carbon and hydrogen necessary for auto flammability in air.

A recent, reliable screening test for self-heating conducted in accordance with UN method N.4 has demonstrated that the solid salt form of ferrous sulphate gives a negative result. The salts is non-self-ignitable (at 140 °C using the modified Bowes-Cameron cage test), which is as expected for non-combustible inorganic substances (Baltussen, 2010 study 492704).
