Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A flash point value of 62.5±0.5°C at 1013 hPa was obtained for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Flash Point: 62.5±0.5°C (ISO 3679:2015)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
62.5 °C

Additional information

A flash point value of 62.5±0.5°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a rapid equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ISO Test Method 3679:2015 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

A flash point value of 62.5±0.5°C and measured boiling point value of 195°C indicates that the substance should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
