Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
04.05.1995
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and prior to GLP requirements. The substance identification is not complete (composition missing). Therefore validation applies with restrictions.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 3680 (Determination of flash/no flash - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ASTM D3278 (Standard test methods for flash point of liquids by small scale closed-cup apparatus)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ASTM D3243
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: IP303
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: BS3900
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
ISO 3679 and 3680 are listed in EU A9 guideline and CLP Regulation
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Setaflash apparatus
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
kinematic viscosity = 3.9 mm2/s
Flash point:
106 °C
Atm. press.:
983 mBar
Key result
Flash point:
107 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 mBar

Measured value: 106°C at 983 mbar

Interpretation of results:
GHS 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 according to ISO 3679/3680 (listed in EU Method A.9), using a closed cup equilibrium method.

The flash point of test substance has been determined to be 107°C, corrected to 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:
107 °C

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized ISO method (closed cup), is available. Despite restrictions on substance ID, it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

This study is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties.
