experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
29.-30.10-2019
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:
European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Key result
Relative self-ignition temperature:
> 400 °C

1.91 g of the test item were filled into the stainless steel wire mesh cube and placed in the oven at 22 °C. The test item showed a slightly endothermal in the temperature range of 220-235 °C (melting). No further endothermal or exothermal effects up to the final test temperature of 401 °C. After the measurement the mesh cube was empty.

Conclusions:
The self-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to be >400 °C.
Executive summary:

No self-ignition temperature was observed up to the maximum test temperature of 400 °C, according to the testing guideline for auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature) in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, Method A.16.

Description of key information

The self-ignition temperature of the test item was determined to > 400 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
