Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From 21/01/2013 to 04/02/2013
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation was reported. Substance ID is adequately specified with purity. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO No., other: ISO 3679-1983
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO No., other: ASTM D-3278-96
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
signed on 12 March 2012
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
A kinematic viscosity of 8.37 mm2/s at 20°C was measured on an analogue (please refer to IU section 4.22), corresponding to a dynamic viscosity of 7.8 mPa.s with the density of 0.936 (please refer to IU section 4.4).
Flash point:
98 °C
Atm. press.:
97 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: measured; accuracy +/-2°C
Key result
Flash point:
99 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: corrected flash point

Preliminary determination: 103°C

Determination 1 (fresh sample): 98°C

Determination 2 (fresh sample): 98°C

Atmospheric pressure = 97.0 kPa

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria). Therefore, the test substance is NOT a flammable liquid according to CLP and GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to ISO 3679 (listed in EU A9 guideline), closed cup method.

Two main runs were performed, the average value was retained, and corrected to normal atmospheric pressure.

The flash point of the test substance is 99°C under normal atmP.

Description of key information

The substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid neither according to CLP Regulation criteria, nor to UN GHS.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
99 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method and under GLP, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data for purpose of CSA.

This result is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties. (see IUCLID Section 4.13 endpoint summary for justification of non-classification)
