Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Justification for type of information:
For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Atm. press.:
969 hPa
Remarks on result:
no flash point according to standard method
Remarks:
No flash point up to 200 °C

The flash point of the reference substance Naphthalene was determined to be 82 °C which is in the range of acceptance (80 °C ± 2 °C). In case of the test item three parallel tests were carried out. No flash point of PURASAL S was observed up to 200 °C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point was observed up to 200 °C for Sodium (S)-lactate.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A.9 and ASTM D 6450 the closed cup – electric arc method was used to determine the flash point of Sodium (S)-lactate. No flash point was observed up to 200 °C.

 

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids

Description of key information

In accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, this study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant for liquids and low melting point solids. Supportive information was derived from a GLP study conducted according to EU Method A.9 and ASTM D 6450 with the enantiomer of the target substance, Sodium (S)-lactate. In this study, the closed cup – electric arc method was used to determine the flash point of an aqueous solution of Sodium (S)-lactate. No flash point was observed up to 200 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
