Reference

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

26 March to 22 April 2013

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)

Version / remarks:

2002

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Not applicable

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Type of method:

non-equilibrium method closed cup

Flash point apparatus:

Pensky-Martens apparatus

Dynamic viscosity of test material:

(no data)

Key result

Flash point:

130.5 °C

Atm. press.:

101.3 kPa

The results of the main tests are:

First determination: Flash point, corrected for atmospheric pressure: 130.5°C.

Second determination: Flash point, corrected for atmospheric pressure: 130.5°C.

The results of the two tests were averaged and rounded off to the nearest 0.5°C to obtain the final flash point value: Flash point of test item is 130.5°C.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met

Conclusions:

The flash point of the test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria). Therefore the test substance is NOT classified as a flammable liquid.

Executive summary:

 The flash point of the test item has been determined according to ISO 2719:2002 standard (listed in EU A.9 guideline), using a Pensky-Martens closed cup non-equilibrium method, and under GLP.

 

The sample was heated at a gradient of +5.5°C/min in a temperature range around the value found in the pre-test, and ignition was tested every 2°C (above 110°C). The test was performed in duplicate. Measurements are automatically corrected for normal atmospheric pressure. The final result is the average of the two consistent results, rounded off to the nearest 0.5 °C.

The flash point of the test item is 130.5°C.

Description of key information

The substance is NOT classified as a flammable liquid neither according to CLP Regulation criteria, nor to UN GHS.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:

130.5 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU/ISO guideline (non-equilibrium closed cup method) and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

This study is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties. (see IU Section 4.13 endpoint summary for justification of non-classification)
