ATR above FL 250

Hello,

Can somebody explain me why the ceiling of an ATR is artificially limited to FL250?

I know FL 250 being the service ceiling due to the pax drop down O2 mask and maybe it could be a limitation due to max differential pressure.

I ve heared stories of ATRs being ferried above FL250. Did they have special approval?
