relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
10.02.2004 - 02.04.2004
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
Version / remarks:
Guideline 67/548/EEC Annex V
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 402 °C
Remarks on result:
other: at atm. press. of 1013.0 hPa

No exothermal reaction of the test item was observed until a maximum temperature of 402 °C. An endothermic effect (melting) at about 140 °C was observed.

Conclusions:
No self-ignition was observed up to the maximum temperature of 402 °C.
Executive summary:

A study according to Guideline 67/548/EEC Annex V Method A.16 was conducted to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item. The tests were started from 14 °C oven temperature. The temperature of the oven and sample were continuously recorded with a thermosensor while the temperature of the oven was increased at a rate of approximately 0.5 °C/min up to 400 °C. In the course of this study the test item did not self-ignite up to the maximum temperature of 402 °C. Thus, no self-ignition temperature could be stated. An endothermic effect (melting) at about 140 °C was observed.

Description of key information

No self-ignition was observed up to the maximum temperature of 402 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A study according to Guideline 67/548/EEC Annex V Method A.16 was conducted to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test item. The tests were started from 14 °C oven temperature. The temperature of the oven and sample were continuously recorded with a thermosensor while the temperature of the oven was increased at a rate of approximately 0.5 °C/min up to 400 °C. In the course of this study the test item did not self-ignite up to the maximum temperature of 402 °C. Thus, no self-ignition temperature could be stated. An endothermic effect (melting) at about 140 °C was observed (reference 4.12-1).
