Reference
Endpoint:
relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
19 Jan - 12 Feb 1993
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:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point
Remarks:
The test substance melted in the range up to 85°C.

Validity criteria for the measurement of the relative self-ignition temperature for solids:















Target condition according to guideline:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
The temperatures of the oven and sample are continuously recorded while the temperature of the oven is increased to 400 °C, or to the melting point if lower, at a rate of 0.5 °C /min.The temperature of the oven was increased by a heating rate of 0.5 °C /min until 100°C. Since the test substance melted in the range up to 85°C it was not necessary to raise the oven temperature to 400°C.yes
Conclusions:
The test substance is not self-igniting up to its melting point.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the test substance. The study was conducted in accordance with EEC Testing Guideline A.16 'Relative self-ignition temperature for solids'. The test substance is not self-igniting according to guideline EEC A.16 as it melts in the range up to 85 °C.
