The results of both tests were averaged and rounded off to the nearest degree to obtain the final flash point value: 131°C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was determined according to the DIN 51758 and the EU Method A.9 using Pensky-Martens instrument.
Flash point was determined to be 131°C at 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was determined according to the DIN 51758 and the EU Method A.9 using Pensky-Martens instrument.
Flash point was determined to be 131°C at 1013 hPa.


The test item should NOT be classified as flammable liquid.
