Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Reliability rating was 1 because study was carried out under GLP using standard test method for flash point determination. The study was also well-documented.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
follows Pensky-Martens closed cup ASTM D93
Principles of method if other than guideline:
This Pensky Martens closed cup method followed EC Method A9-ASTM D93-80 test guidelines. The test apparatus was surrounded by a draught shield. The test substance was added to the cup and continuously stirred except during the application of the test flame. The test substance was warmed at a rate of 5-6 C per min and the test flame applied with every degree rise in temperature. The flash point was taken as the lowest temperature at which the flame caused a distinct and consistent flash in the interior of the cup.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
other: Pensky-Martens closed cup
Flash point:
214 °C
Atm. press.:
1 016 mBar
Conclusions:
The test substance was determined to have a flash point of 214 C at 1016 mbar using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method.
Executive summary:

The test substance was determined to have a flash point of 214 C at 1016 mbar using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method.
