Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 296 ± 5°C at 100.3 to 101.3 kPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Auto-ignition temperature: 296 ± 5°C at 100.3 to 101.3 kPa (EU Method A.15)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
296 °C

Additional information

An auto-ignition temperature value of 296 ± 5°C at 100.3 to 101.3 kPa was determined for the submission substance in accordance with EU Method A.15 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, an auto-ignition temperature value of 360°C was reported for the substance.
