Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance has not to be classified as self heating substance according to UN transport classification and to EU-GHS/CLP (EG 1272/2008).
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for autoflammability according to VDI 2263 sheet 1 with the screening test in the Grewer oven.

For the pure substance as well as for the 1:1 mixture with kieselgur no self ignition could be observed up to 440 °C.
