1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
2003
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
Study was not performed under GLP, however the test facility was GLP-compliant.
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Key result
Flash point:
120.5 °C
Atm. press.:
1 014 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: Average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C

In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 120.0°C. The mean measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 120.97°C. The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5°C is 120.5°C.

Conclusions:
The test item has a flash point of 120.5 °C at 1014 hPa.
Executive summary:

Flashpoint was determined by closed cup (Pensky Martens) method according to EU Method A.9 and DIN EN ISO 2719. The flashpoint of the test item was determined to be 120.5 °C at 1014 hPa. The study was not performed under GLP, however the test facility was GLP-compliant. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1).

Description of key information

The flashpoint of the test item was determined to be 120.5°C at 1014 hPa. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
120.5 °C

Additional information

Flashpoint was determined by closed cup (Pensky Martens) method according to EU Method A.9 and DIN EN ISO 2719. The study was not performed under GLP, however the test facility was GLP-compliant. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1). With a measured flash point > 60°C, the test item does not have to be classified as flammable liquid according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1.
