- Key result
- Auto-ignition temperature:
- 270 °C
- Atm. press.:
- >= 1 001.3 - <= 1 015.5 hPa
- Conclusions:
- This parameter/method is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding potential additional fire hazard. No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted under GLP according to standard DIN 51794:2003 -05 (listed in EU A.15 guideline).
Under the test conditions, the lowest temperature that will result in the ignition of the test item after being injected into the apparatus was determined as 270 °C between 1001.3 and 1015.5 hPa. This value was determined using approximately 10 drops (about 1 g) of test substance. The test substance showed auto ignition after 40 seconds.

Results of the preliminary test:
Temperatures where auto-ignition was detected are marked with +; temperatures where no auto-ignition was detected are marked with - in the table below. The amount of test item tested at each measurement is indicated as numbers of portions (1 portion = 1 drop = approximately 0.1 g).

The lowest auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be 272°C in the main test.
The auto-ignition-temperatures were below 300 °C and the three lowest results of the tests with 2 K steps were within a range of 10 K. Therefore, the results were considered as valid.
Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 270 °C (1001.3 - 1015.5 hPa)
Description of key information
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was stated as 270 °C (1001.3 - 1015.5 hPa).
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 270 °C
Additional information
A GLP fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU 15 / DIN 51794 method, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard
