Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- Experimental Starting Date: 03 December 2013 Experimental Completion Date: 10 March 2014
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- Study conducted in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results. The study report was conclusive, done to a valid guideline and the study was conducted under GLP conditions.
- Justification for type of information:
- The hypothesis for the analogue approach is that the test substance, Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics contains constituents which are also constituents of the target substance, Hydrocarbons, C11-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. The substances have overlapping constituents and therefore have qualitatively similar properties (RAAF Scenario 2 applies).
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across: supporting information
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:

- Flash point:
- 61 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: The test item has been determined to have a flash point of 61 ± 2 °C.
- Conclusions:
- A measured flash point value of 61 ± 2°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered reliable.
- Executive summary:
The determination was carried out using a closed cup flash point tester[1], using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Description of key information
Flash point: >61°C at 1013 hPa
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Only supporting data is available for Hydrocarbons, C11-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. However, key data is available for structural analogues, Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics; Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics; Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics; and Hydrocarbons C15 -C19, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics and presented in the dossier. The hypothesis for the analogue approach is that the test substances, contain constituents which are also constituents of the target substance, Hydrocarbons, C11-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. The substances have overlapping constituents and therefore have qualitatively similar properties (RAAF Scenario 2 applies).
Hydrocarbons, C11-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics has a measured flash point of 86.5°C at 1013 hPa using a closed cup method. Full study details are not available therefore reliability could not be assigned to these data.
Reliable data are, however, available for related substances in the relevant carbon number range, including other Fischer-Tropsch process-derived substances.
In ISO 3679 studies using the rapid equilibrium method, which which were conducted in compliance with GLP, Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (GS190), Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (GS215) and Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (GS250) had measured flash point values of 61 ± 2°C, 86 ± 2°C and 111 ± 2°C at 1013 hPa respectively.
Also, a measured flash point value of 64°C using a Pensky-Martens Closed Cup method (ASTM D93 was obtained for Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. In addition, Hydrocarbons, C10-C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics was observed not to sustain a flame >15 seconds in a sustained burning test which was performed in accordance with ASTM D4206 and in compliance with known quality system (ISO 9001).
The results are considered to be reliable and are used as weight of evidence.
