Any other information on results incl. tables

1.1.1.              

The results of the main study on the determination of the flash-point of the test item are given inTable 3.

The difference between the results obtained with the Test 2 and Test 3 was≤2°C. From this, it was concluded that the flash-point of the test item is the lowest flash-point obtained.
