Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The flash point of the test material has been determined to be 179 ± 2°C.
Executive summary:

The flash point was determined using a closed cup equilibrium method, Method A9 Flash Point of Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.

The flash point of the test material has been determined to be 179 ± 2°C.
