- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete reporting or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of relevant results.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: DIN 51794 Determination of Ignition Temperature
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- ca. 440 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: The lowest temperature giving a positive effect was 440 °C. The injected volume was 200 µL, the ignition delay was 10 s. At a temperature of 430 °C no ignition was observed.
- Conclusions:
- The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was determined according to guideline DIN 51794. The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 440 ± 10 °C.
- Executive summary:
The Auto-ignition Temperature of Benzyl Salicylate was determined in a SUR BERLIN oven, equipped with a 250 mL glass ignition vessel according to DIN 51794.
The lowest temperature giving a positive effect was 440 °C. The injected volume was 200 µL, the ignition delay was 10 s. At a temperature of 430 °C no ignition was observed.
Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was 440 ± 10 °C.

Description of key information
Auto flammability 440 ± 10 °C (DIN 51794; EU method A15)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 430 °C
Additional information
The auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was determined according to guideline DIN 51794. At a temperature of 430
°C no ignition was observed. The lowest temperature giving a positive effect was 440 °C. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance was found to be 440 ± 10 °C. The +/- 10 °C refers to the reproducibility of the method as specified by the guideline.
According to the guidelines the lowest temperature giving a positive effect should be rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C. However, since more temperatures in the range 430°C to 440°C were not tested a conservative value of 430°C has been chosen for the purposes of the CSA even though no ignition was observed at 430°C.
