Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
24 November 2015 to 6 September 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Setaflash apparatus
Key result
Flash point:
> 110.5 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 98.8 kPa
Remarks on result:
no flash point up to 100°C

A preliminary test established that there was no flash point for the test material up to 110 °C. Two definitive tests on two different samples established that there was no flash point for the test material up to 110 °C (110.5 °C corrected for atmospheric pressure) when the correction for atmospheric pressure was applied.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, there was no flash point for the test material up to 110 °C when the correction for atmospheric pressure was applied.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test material was investigated in a study which was performed under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EU method A.9.

The test material (nominally 2 mL) was introduced into the test chamber which was then closed. A preliminary measurement was carried out as a rangefinder. The range finder employed the rapid equilibrium mode, starting at room temperature and increasing in 10 °C increments, with a 1 minute equilibration time, until a flash was observed or 110 °C was reached. As no flash was seen up to 110 °C (110.5 °C corrected for atmospheric pressure) in the rangefinder test the definitive test was just carried out at 110 °C with a 1 minute equilibration time. The procedure was done in duplicate. Instrument operation was verified using the reference substance 99878-3, supplied by Stanhope Seta, which has a certified flash point of 74.5 ± 2 °C. The definitive tests on two different samples established that there was no flash point for the test material up to 110 °C (110.5 °C corrected for atmospheric pressure) when the correction for atmospheric pressure was applied.

Under the conditions of the study, there was no flash point for the test material up to 110 °C when the correction for atmospheric pressure was applied.

Additional information

The flash point of the test material was investigated in a study which was performed under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EU method A.9. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The range finder employed the rapid equilibrium mode, starting at room temperature and increasing in 10 °C increments, with a 1 minute equilibration time, until a flash was observed or 110 °C was reached.
