Self-ignition in the Grewer Oven

In the investigation of self-ignition in the Grewer Oven for the pure test item, an endothermic effect was detected in the temperature range of 50 – 110 °C, which may be caused by the drying of the test item. No further thermal effects could be observed up to maximum test temperature of 425 °C. After the measurement a black residue remained in the basket.

For the test item in mixture with Kieselguhr an endothermic effect was detected, in the temperature range of 40 – 70 °C, which may also be caused by the drying of the test item. No further thermal effects could be observed up to maximum test temperature of 425 °C

Table 1 summarizes the results of the Grewer Oven experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Instead of the test on the relative self-ignition temperature according EC A.16. the test for self-heating substances according to Recommendations on the TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS: Manual of Tests and Criteria: UN Test N.4 and the screening test in the Grewer oven according to VDI 2263, sheet 1 were performed, since these are now recommended for evaluation and classification.

In the Grewer oven the pure test item Leuco Sulphur Brown 46 indicated no self-heating at atmospheric pressure up to maximum test temperature of 425 °C.

On the basis of the results of the tests on the self-ignition in the Grewer Oven the test item is classified as follows:
UN Transport Regulation: The test item has not to be classified as self-heating substance in class 4, division 4.2 according to the UN Transport Regulation.
GHS / CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11: The test item has not to be classified as self-heating substance according to GHS/CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.11.
