Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 22 Feb - 22 Feb 2002
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Version / remarks:
- Guideline (German), 'Methods for Determination of Physicochemical Properties', Official gazette No L 383 A of December 1992
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: DIN EN 22719
- Version / remarks:
- Name of the DIN EN 22719 (not stated in the study report): Petroleum products and lubricants; determination of flash point; Pensky-Martens closed cup method (ISO 2719:1988); German version EN 22719:1993.
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Remarks:
- The tests were performed as stipulated in DIN EN 22719. A gas flame was used as the ignition source, ignitions were visually determined by the tester.
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 74 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 996 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test substance exhibits a flash point of 74.0°C at an atmospheric pressure of 996 hPa.
- Executive summary:
The test substance exhibits a flash point of 74.0°C at an atmospheric pressure of 996 hPa.
Reference
In the first and second main tests, ignitions were determined at 74.1 °C and 73.1 °C, respectively. The mean value is 73.6 °C. The barometric pressure was 996 hPa at the time of the test runs. Corrections with respect to the barometric pressure resulted in a final value of 74.0 °C.
Validity criteria for the measurement of the flash point:
| Target condition according to guideline 92/69/EWG A.9: | Actual condition according to the study: | Validity criteria met: |
| When the flash point, determined by a non-equilibrium method is found to be 0 ± 2 ° C, 21 ± 2 °C or 55 ± 2 °C, it should be confirmed by an equilibrium method using the same apparatus. | The flash point determined is higher than the temperature focussed on in the guideline. | Yes |
| Only the methods which can give the temperature of the flash point may be used for a notification. | The temperature of the flash point is stated. | Yes |
| To determine the flash point of viscous liquids (paints, gums and similar) containing solvents, only apparatus and test methods suitable for determining the flash point of viscous liquids may be used. | The flash point was measured according to DIN EN 22719 (see 'Test guideline'). | Yes |
Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 74 °C
Additional information
The flash point was measured at an pressure of 996 hPa.
