Results retest:  ignition: 245°C, no ignition: 244°C

The retest was performed to check for reproducibility of the test results.

 

Summary of result

lowest value from pretest:

258°C

lowest value for first main test:

245°C

lowest value for second main test:

247°C

lowest value for retest:

245°C

Lowest value of all main test/retest series: 245°C

Conclusions:
A measured auto-ignition temperature value of 245°C at 1003-1017 hPa (mbar) was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 245°C at 1003-1017 hPa (DIN 51794)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
245 °C

Additional information

A measured auto-ignition temperature value of 245°C at 1003-1017 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method according to EU Method A.15 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
