Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A flash point value of 97.5± 0.5°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance in accordance with a relevant test method and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Flash point: 97.5±0.5°C at 1013 hPa (EU Method A.9)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
97.5 °C

Additional information

A flash point of 97.5±0.5°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the submission substance using a rapid equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with EU Test Method A.9 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

A measured boiling point of 315°C and a measured flash point of 97.5± 0.5°C indicate that the substance should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
