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:
- 13 December 2002 - 18 February 2003
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The study was conducted in accordance with EC test guidelines, and in compliance with GLP.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Analytical purity: 99.9%
- Lot/batch No.: 020618 - Key result
- Flash point:
- < 3 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: Duplicate measured flash points were 3 and 2 °C at 745 mmHg. Mean corrected flash point at standard pressure was 3.0°C (mean of 3.5 and 2.5 °C).
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (highly flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test substance is less than 3°C at standard pressure.
Reference
In both tests, the flash first occurred at the first application of the flame to the vapour, indicating that the test substance was already at or above its flash point; on this basis, the flash point of the test substance is quoted as less than 3°C at standard pressure.
Description of key information
The flash point of the substance is less than 3°C at standard pressure (Pensky-Martens closed-cup).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 3 °C
Additional information
A flash point determination was conducted as part of a package of physicochemical testing on the substance (Huntingdon Life Sciences, 2003, Study ZCE098). The study was conducted in compliance with GLP and the flash point determination was performed according to EC test guidelines.
The mean of two replicate tests gave a flash point of 3°C when corrrected for standard pressure, however in each case the flash occurred at the first application of the fame to the vapour, indicating that the substance was already at or above its flash point. The flash point of the substance is therefore less than 3°C.
