Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental dates: 25 to 27 March 2019
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The substance is adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
BS-4056 (Method of test for ignition temperature of gases and vapours)
Version / remarks:
1966
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.15 (Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases))
Version / remarks:
2008
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
issued 01/08/2019
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Storage Conditions: Room temperature (15 to 25°C), dark, in an amber glass bottle
Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
240 °C
Atm. press.:
>= 1 027 - <= 1 035 mBar

The lowest auto-ignition temperature was observed as a yellow flame, for a test volume of 500 μL, and a time-lag of 30 sec.

Conclusions:
This parameter/method is not relevant for classification; however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.
Executive summary:

The auto-ignition temperature of the substance was tested under GLP, according to BS 4056 standard (listed in EU A.15 guideline).

The test substance was injected into a heated flask, until the lowest temperature at which ignition occurs was determined, with different volumes.

The auto-ignition temperature of test item was found at 240°C at ca atmP.

Description of key information

No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
240 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized BS/EU method and under GLP, is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
