Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
14 November 2014
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
2002
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Flash point:
126 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: Value corrected to standard pressure (1013 hPa) and rounded down to nearest multiple of 0.5 °C
Conclusions:
The flash point of 1,3-dimethyl-3-phenylbutyl acetate was determined to be 126.0 °C at 1013 hPa using the closed cup method.
Executive summary:

The flash point of 1,3-dimethyl-3-phenylbutyl acetate was determined to be 126.0 °C at 1013 hPa. The flash point of the test item was determined using the closed cup, Pensky Martens method which corresponds to the regulation EC 440/2008 Method A.9 (2014). The study is considered reliable and relevant for use for this endpoint.

With a measured flash point ≥ 60°C the test item does not have to be classified as a flammable liquid under GHS (CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1:2.6) or UN Transport Regulations. With a measured flash point ≥ 55 °C the test item does not have to be classified as a flammable liquid under Regulation EC 440/2008 and Directive 67/548/EEC.
