Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (solids)

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

other: N4 (Modified Method) Self Heating Substances

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

the test item was only available in very limited amounts and was extremely expensive. Therefore, in order to obtain as much information as possible on the self-heating properties of the test item a modified procedure was employed

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Relative self-ignition temperature:

400 °C

Remarks on result:

other:

Remarks:

There were no signs of self-ignition or self-heating when triammonium hexachlororhodate was held at 140°C for 24 hours. However, when the test item was heated from 140 to 400°C, the sample temperature exceeded the oven temperature by greater than 60°C at an oven temperature of approximately 400 °C.

There were no signs of self-ignition or self-heating when triammonium hexachlororhodate was held at 140°C for 24 hours.

Conclusions:

There were no signs of self-ignition or self-heating when triammonium hexachlororhodate was held at 140°C for 24 hours. However, when the test item was heated from 140 to 400°C, the sample temperature exceeded the oven temperature by greater than 60°C at an oven temperature of approximately 400 °C.

Executive summary:

Walker and White (2011) is a GLP compliant study following a modified UN N4 method and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint.

There were no signs of self-ignition or self-heating when triammonium hexachlororhodate was held at 140°C for 24 hours. However, when the test item was heated from 140 to 400°C, the sample temperature exceeded the oven temperature by greater than 60°C at an oven temperature of approximately 400 °C.

Description of key information

There were no signs of self-ignition or self-heating when triammonium hexachlororhodate was held at 140°C for 24 hours. However, when the test item was heated from 140 to 400°C, the sample temperature exceeded the oven temperature by greater than 60°C at an oven temperature of approximately 400 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
