EXPERIMENTAL 1. Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A 16 'Relative Self-Ignition Temperature for Solids'. 8 ml of the substance (coarsely grounded) was filled in a stainless steel wire mesh (0.045 mm openings, dimensions of 2 x 2 x 2 cm) and placed in a 2-litre-oven (self-build) at room temperature. The oven was operated with natural air circulation. For the controlling of the oven temperature an eurotherm-controller type ‘818 P’ was used and for recording of all temperatures Fe-CuNi-Thermocouples (type L) were used. The temperature/time curve relating to conditions in the centre of the sample was electronically recorded (software FIX32) while the temperature of the oven was increased to 410 °C at a rate of 0.5 °C/min. For this purpose, the temperature of the oven at which the sample temperature reached 400 °C by self-heating is called the self-ignition temperature. No exothermic effects were determined up to 410 °C. A copy of the recorder trace is attached (see Graph of the Relative Spontaneous Ignition). ‘Ferro Niobium' is classified as not undergoing spontaneous combustion when tested according to EC Test Procedure A 16.

Your mail dated December 17, 2007 Ladies and gentlemen, From February 22 to 23, 2005, an inspection was carried out by a team of inspectors from North Rhine-Westphalia in the above testing facility to check compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice in accordance with Annex 1 of the German Chemicals Act (in the version in the notification dated June 20, 2002). As you stated in your mail dated December 17, 2007, the name of your company will change from January 1, 2008. According to your mail, the legal form (GmbH & Co. OHG), the ownership structure (Bayer/LANXESS), the areas of operation and the organizational structure will remain unchanged, this also applying to the GLP testing facility of the “Sicherheitstechnisches Laboratorium” (Technical Safety Laboratory). The new name of the testing facility will be: Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG SIC-VA-VSC Prüfeinrichtung "Sicherheitstechnisches Laboratorium"
