Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
15-19 September 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
2008
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
2002
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Not applicable
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Date of inspection: 15-16 March 2016; Signed on: 7 July 2016
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Key result
Flash point:
88 °C
Atm. press.:
101.3 kPa

The results of the main tests were: First determination: 88.0 °C; Second determination: 88.0 °C. As the results of the two determinations did not differ by more than 2.0 °C, it was not necessary to run a third determination. The results of the two tests were averaged and rounded off to the nearest 0.5 °C to obtain the final flash point value. The Flash point of test item is 88.0 °C.

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 (combustible liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of test item was determined according to EU Method A.9 using the closed cup method and a Pensky-Martens apparatus. Flash point of test item was determined to be 88.0 °C.
Executive summary:

The flash point of test item was determined according to EU Method A.9 using the closed cup method and a Pensky-Martens apparatus. Flash point of test item was determined to be 88.0 °C.

Since the flashpoint is > 60°C, the test item is NOT CLASSIFIED as flammable liquid according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP). It is classified as flammable liquid CAT 4 according to UN GHS criteria.

Description of key information

Flash point of test item was determined to be 88.0 °C.


Since the flashpoint is > 60°C, the test item is NOT CLASSIFIED as flammable liquid according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP). It is classified as flammable liquid CAT 4 according to UN GHS criteria.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
88 °C
