The flash point is taken as the rounded mean value of the four valid measurements, giving a value of 165 °C.

The mean atmospheric pressure was 102.1 kPa for the four valid measurements; the result quoted is corrected to standard atmospheric pressure, 101.3 kPa. Based on the general experience with the method and the scatter of the results, the error is quoted as ± 5 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item is 165 ± 5 °C at 101.3 kPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined according to EU method A.9 and DIN EN ISO 2719 using a Pensky-Martens apparatus. At 101.3 kPa, the flash point is 165 +/- 5 °C.
