- Executive summary:
EU Method A.9. - The flash point of the test item was determined using a non-equilibrium closed cup method. The procedure employed was designed to be compatible with Method A.9., Flash Point, of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Following a preliminary test to establish an indicative flash point, the flash point apparatus was filled > 50 % and closed. The test item was stirred at 115 rpm and subject to a programmed temperature increase of 5.5 °C/min. A first ignition trial was performed 22 °C below the expected flash point. The ignition source was presented to the test item every 1 °C until a flash point was observed. This value was corrected to standard pressure and rounded to the nearest 0.5 °C. This procedure was performed in duplicate.
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 103.0 °C at 1013 hPa.
The test item cannot be categorised in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (Classification Labelling and Packaging) of 16 December 2008.

Data Evaluation:
The pressure, the uncorrected as well as the corrected flash point is reported. The correction of the flash point to a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa (1013 mbar) is done by the appliance at the following way:
TC = T0 + 0.25 × (101.3 – p)
Where:
TC = flash point corrected to standard pressure of 101.3 kPa (°C)
T0 = determined flash point at ambient atmospheric pressure (°C)
p = ambient atmospheric pressure during the performance of the test (kPa)
The mean value of corrected flash points TC of the main tests were calculated and rounded to the nearest 0.5 °C (TR). T0, p, TC, and TR are reported.
Results – Preliminary Test:
The approximate flash point of the preliminary test was ~ 100 °C.
