- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 125 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013.25 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 125 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method A.15 and DIN 51794 of May 2003 in order to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test item. The lowest value of the auto-ignition temperature was 129 °C. This value was determined using 20 drops test item. The three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 10 K as required for auto-ignition temperatures (below 300 °C). The auto-ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 125 °C.
Reference
Three replicate main tests were performed under atmospheric pressure.
The following lowest values were recorded:
| Experiment | Value (°C) | Drops used |
| 1 | 135 | 20 |
| 2 | 131 | 20 |
| 3 | 129 | 20 |
The lowest value of the auto-ignition temperature was 129 °C. This value was determined using 20 drops test item. The three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 10 K as required for auto-ignition temperatures (below 300 °C). The auto-ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 125 °C. The three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 10 K as required for auto-ignition temperatures (below 300 °C). Thus, the validity criterion, which is demanded in the DIN standard, was fulfilled.
Description of key information
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 125 °C at 1013.25 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 125 °C
Additional information
A study was performed according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method A.15 and DIN 51794 of May 2003 in order to determine the auto-ignition temperature of the test item. The lowest value of the auto-ignition temperature was 129 °C. This value was determined using 20 drops test item. The three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 10 K as required for auto-ignition temperatures (below 300 °C). The auto-ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 125 °C at 1013.25 hPa (4.12-1).
