Assessment Procedure for Autocatalytic Decompositions

Once it is known with certainty that a decomposition follows an autocatalytic mechanism, it is recommended to proceed as follows  

Calculate the TMRad according to the conservative model mentioned above, using the results of isothermal measurements. If the resulting TMRad turns out to be critical, that is less than 24 hours (for a reaction, not for storage), the following points have to be clarified  

If the answer to all these questions is yes, then the autocatalytic model for the decomposition can be used with some reliability to predict the adiabatic behavior. This has to be done by specialists. 

Why is the zero-order approximation for the reaction kinetics especially conservative in the case of autocatalytic reactions  

What do you think about the statement For a strongly autocatalytic reaction, the isothermal induction time is close to TMRld
