Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Closed cup method
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point:
168 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

Measurement of Flash Point temperature was determined using an instrument/procedure which operates at ambient atmospheric pressure. The ambient barometric pressure associated with this measurement was not reported, but is assumed to be at/near the standard pressure of 1013 hPa.

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified according to EU criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of diphenyl carbonate is 168 °C at 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point of diphenyl carbonate is 168 °C at 1013 hPa.

Description of key information

Diphenyl carbonate was found to have a flash point of 168 °C at 1013 hPa, closed cup method, Buysch (2002)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
168 °C

Additional information

There is one key study available investigating the flash point of diphenyl carbonate (Buysch, 2002). The study was assigned a reliability score of 2 in line with the criteria of Klimisch et al. (1997).

 

The value is taken from Ullmann´s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. The flash point temperature was determined using an instrument/procedure which operates at ambient atmospheric pressure. The ambient barometric pressure associated with this measurement was not reported, but is assumed to be at/near the standard pressure of 1013 hPa. The flash point of diphenyl carbonate is reported to be 168 °C at 1013 hPa.
