Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:

- key study
- Study period:
- November 10, 2014 - November 11, 2014
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.16 (Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:

- Remarks on result:
- no self ignition observed under the test conditions
- Conclusions:
- No self ignition
- Executive summary:
No self-ignition temperature was observed up to the maximum test temperature of 402 °C, according to the testing guideline for auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature) in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.16.
Reference
2.25 g of the test item were filled into the stainless steel wire mesh cube and placed in the oven at 21 °C. The test item showed an exothermic effect starting at 243 °C. The maximum peak temperature was 381 °C. According to European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.16. the exothermic effect has not to be classified as self-ignition. No further endothermic or exothermic effects were observed up to the final test temperature of 402 °C.
Description of key information
The auto flammability of the test item was determined according to the European Commission Regulations (EC) No. 440/2008,
A.16. Auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No self-ignition temperature was observed up to the maximum test temperature of 402 °C, according to the testing guideline for auto-flammability (solids - determination of relative self-ignition temperature) in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.16.[1]
[1]Due to the size of the exothermic effect it cannot be excluded that the test item shows a self-ignition under other regulations (e.g. UN Manual of Test and Criteria).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
