Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-study according to EU Method A.15
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Auto-ignition temperature:
ca. 375 °C
Remarks on result:
other: ambient conditions

The requirements for repeatability of the DIN standard are stated as follows: Three lowest values of the main study have to lie within a range of 10 K (if auto ignition temperature is below 300 °C) respectively 20 K (if auto ignition temperature is above 300 °C).

The following lowest values were recorded:

The lowest value of the auto ignition temperature is 378 °C. This value was determined using 9 resp. 13 drops test item. The test item showed auto ignition after 31, 36 and 40 seconds, respectively.

The auto ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the lowest values of the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C.

Therefore, the auto ignition temperature is stated as 375 °C.

Conclusions:
In a GLP-study according to EU Method A.15, the auto ignition temperature of the registered substance was determined as 375°C.
Executive summary:

In a GLP-study according to EU Method A.15, the auto ignition temperature of the registered substance was determined as 375°C.
