The lowest auto-igntiion temperature of the test item was determined to be 271 °C in the main test. 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.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was 270 °C.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EC Method A.15. Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 270 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of the test item was determined according to EC Method A.15. Based on results of the main test series, the lowest auto-ignition temperature was 270 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
270 °C
