Evaluation and Result

The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is therefore 102.0 ± 0.0°C (corresponding to 375.2 ± 0.0 K) at 101325 Pa.

Discussion

No difference between the two values were measured therefore the determination was considered valid.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flashpoint of the test item is stated as 102.0 °C (corresponding to 375.2 K) at 101325 Pa.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point), using a non-equilibrium closed cup method as described in ISO2719 -Part B.

The flash point of the test item is stated as102.0 °C(corresponding to 375.2 K) at 101325 Pa (mean value of two independant determinations).

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item is stated as 102.0 °C (corresponding to 375.2 K) at 101325 Pa.

The substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP) and GHS criteria.

Note that the result obtained on this kind of substance should be largely influence by small amounts of volatile constituents.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
102 °C

Additional information

The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point), using a non-equilibrium closed cup method (ISO2719 -Part B). It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data for purpose of CSA.

This study is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties.
