Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- September 06, 2022
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The substance is adequately identified. Therefore full validation applies.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
- Version / remarks:
- 2016
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EPA OPPTS 830.6315 (Flammability)
- Version / remarks:
- 1996
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Version / remarks:
- 2008
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- GLP-BESCHEININGUNG Statement of GLP Compliance (inspected on 28-29 April 2021, signed on 21 June 2021)
- Type of method:
- non-equilibrium method closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Dynamic viscosity of test material:
- Viscous Liquid (Certificate of Analysis data)
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 57 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.3 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- Category 3 (flammable liquid) based on CLP criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test item was determined to be 57.0 ± 0.5 °C (330.2 ± 0.5 K) at 101.3 kPa.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test substance was determined in a GLP study according to EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point), using a non-equilibrium closed cup method (ISO 2719-B).
The flash point is given as the mean value of two determinations. The measured flash point is therefore 57.0°C at 101.3 KPa (corresponding to 330.2 K).
The flash point of test substance is below the classification thresholds of 60°C of both the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP criteria) and the UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
Therefore the test substance is classified as a flammable liquid, category 3, according to both the CLP and GHS criteria.
Reference
Calibration
The measurements on Hexadecane and Docdecane after calibration met the validity criteria.
Determination of the Flash Point
The results of the determinations are presented in the following Table.
Table 1 - Findings
Program | Expected flash point (setting) in °C | Flash point (found) | Mean | Notes |
EN ISO 2719-A | 77 | 56.5 | 57.0 | difference < 2 K |
EN ISO 2719-A | 57 | 57.5 |
The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination.
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 57.0 ± 0.5 °C (corresponding to 330.2 ± 0.5 K) corrected to the atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa.
Description of key information
The substance is classified as a Flammable Liquid Category 3 according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP criteria).
The substance is classified as Flammable Liquid Category 3 according to UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS criteria).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 57 °C
Additional information
A fully reliable GLP experimental study, conducted according to the recognized EU A.9 method, using a non-equilibrium closed cup method (ISO2719) is available.
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.
