Self-ignition in the Grewer Oven

In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer Oven for the pure test item, showed a self-heating starting at a temperature of 130 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 600 °C (corresponding oven temperature 265 °C). After the measurement a black residue remained in the basket.

For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr a self-heating starting at a temperature of 130 °C was observed that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 620 °C (corresponding oven temperature 315 °C).

Table 1 summarizes the results of the Grewer Oven experiment.

Test item in mixture with Kieselguhr (1:1)	220	620

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Conclusions:

The pure test item Black DB indicated a self-heating starting at a temperature of 130 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 600 °C (corresponding oven temperature 265 °C).

On the basis of the results of the screening test on the self-ignition in the Grewer Oven a classification of the test item as self-heating substance cannot be excluded. Further tests according to UN Test N.4 (Bowes-Cameron-Cage Test) have to be performed for the classification.

Executive summary:

The pure test item Black DB indicated a self-heating starting at a temperature of 130 °C that led to a maximum temperature of approx. 600 °C (corresponding oven temperature 265 °C).

On the basis of the results of the screening test onthe self-ignition in the Grewer Oven a classification of the test item as self-heating substance cannot be excluded. Further tests according to UN Test N.4 (Bowes-Cameron-Cage Test) have to be performed forthe classification.
