Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 200 ± 5 °C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.15, under GLP conditions.

The test flask was heated in a flask heater. Aliquots of test material (tested as received) were injected into the flask using a syringe and the flask observed for signs of ignition over a 300 second period. This procedure was repeated, varying the sample size, as necessary, until the lowest temperature at which ignition, if any, occurred within 300 seconds of insertion, was determined.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material has been determined to have an auto-ignition temperature of 200 ± 5 °C.
