Materials and methods
Test guidelineopen allclose all
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Version / remarks:
- 2016
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ASTM D7094: “Standard Test Method for Flash Point by Modified Continuously Closed Cup (MCCCFP) Tester”
- Version / remarks:
- 2012
- Deviations:
- not specified
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- According to ECA.9 the flash point can be determined by an equilibrium method or a non-equilibrium method. Several methods are mentioned in the guideline. ASTM D7094 is not one of the methods mentioned in the guideline but is a commonly used and safer (low sample volume) alternative for the non-equilibrium ISO 2719 Pensky martens closed cup method.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of method:
- other: modified continuously closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- other: Eraflash (Eralytics, Austria)
- Dynamic viscosity of test material:
- no data

- Molecular formula:
- not applicable as it is a UVCB
- IUPAC Name:
- Extract obtained from the shell of Theobroma cacao (Malvaceae) by co-extraction with ethanol and propylene glycol
- Test material form:
- liquid: viscous
- Details on test material:

Results and discussion
Flash point
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 101 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
Any other information on results incl. tables
Test 2: 101°C
Test 3: 103°C
As the difference between the results is ≤ 6°C, the lowest flash point value obtained was reported as the flash point of the substance.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified under CLP or GHS
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the substance was determined to be 101°C (at 1013 hPa).
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the substance was determined using the modified continuously closed cup ASTM D7094 method (GLP study). The flash point was determined in duplicate obtaining a lowest value of 101°C (at 1013 hPa).
