Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test material has been determined to be 240 ± 2 °C.
Executive summary:

The flash point was determined using a closed cup equilibrium method, Method A9 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

 

The flash point of the test material has been determined to be 240 ± 2 °C.
