The Merck Index is referred to as reliable source in Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Table R.7.1-2 Sources of physico-chemical data.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- no further information on the conducted test procedure
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point:
- 25 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: flash has been determined to be 77 °F which corresponds to 25 °C
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test substance diethylcarbonate has been determined to be 25 °C in a closed cup.
- Endpoint:
- flash point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance" from ECHA (May 2008) recommends not to use flash point data determined by the open cup method.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- no further information on the conducted test procedure.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- open cup
- Flash point:
- 115 °F
- Remarks on result:
- other: 115 °F corresponds to 46.11 °C
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test substance diethyl carbonate has been determined in an open cup. The value is 115 °F which corresponds to 46.11 °C.
- Endpoint:
- flash point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- The cited handbook is not referred to as reliable source in Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Table R.7.1-2 Sources of physico-chemical data. No further information are given on the conducted method; according the determined value (compare 4.11.004) probably the open cup method was used. "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance" from ECHA (May 2008) recommends not to use flash point data determined by the open cup method.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- other: no data
- Flash point:
- 48 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: no further information on conducted method; according to the value (see endpoint record 4.11.004) probably determined in open cup
- Endpoint:
- flash point
- Adequacy of study:
- disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Sax’s Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials is referred to as reliable source in Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Table R.7.1-2 Sources of physico-chemical data. "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance" from ECHA (May 2008) recommends not to use flash point data determined by the open cup method.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- open cup
- Flash point:
- 77 °F
- Remarks on result:
- other: no further information; flash point in °C: 25
