- Key result
- Flash point:
- 170 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 006 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item has a flash point of 170.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C)
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test item was determined according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point, DIN EN ISO 2719 (2003). The closed cup method using a Pensky-Martens apparatus was performed to investigate the flash point of the test item. The test item was placed in a test vessel and heated to the test temperature according to the procedure described in the German standard DIN EN ISO 2719. Ignition trials were carried out in order to ascertain whether or not the sample flashed at the test temperature. The test item has a flash point of 170 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) and is classified as not flammable according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annnex 1.
