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:
- from 2020-05-11 to 2020-06-30
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 13736 (Petroleum products and other liquids - Determination of flash point - Abel closed cup method)
- Version / remarks:
- 2013
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Version / remarks:
- 2008
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- non-equilibrium method closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Abel apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 39 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash-point of the test item was determined to be 39.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C).
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point and DIN EN ISO 2719 (2016) to determine the flash point of the test item using non-equilibrium closed cup method. An Abel apparatus was used for this purpose. For the main test about 89 – 90 g of test item were added to the test vessel, which is then closed and fitted to the hot air bath. In specific temperature intervals it is tested whether the vapour phase can be ignited using a gas flame as ignition source. The flash-point of the test item was determined to be 39.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C). As the test item has a measured flash point between ≥ 23 and ≤ 60 °C, it has to be classified as flammable liquid.
Reference
Preliminary test:
The test result of the preliminary test with the search program is presented in the following table. An ignition is indicated by “+” and no ignition by “-”. In the preliminary test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 40.2 °C.

Main test:
The test results of the main test are presented in the following table. An ignition is indicated by “+” and no ignition by “-”.The average of two main tests (corrected to standard pressure of 1013 hPa) is 39.5 °C. The resulting flash point, rounded down to the next multiple of 0.5 °C, is 39.0 °C.
