Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item has a flash point of 73.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C).
According to the results of the test on the flash point, the test item is classified as following:
GHS (CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.6): 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.
UN Transport Regulation: With a measured flash point > 60 °C, the test item does not have to be classified as flammable liquid in class 3 according to the UN Transport Regulation.
Executive summary:

The test item has a flash point of 73.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9.Flash Point and DIN EN ISO 2719 (2003) Pensky-Martens closed cup test.
