Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From 05/03/2008 to 21/05/2008
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. The substance is adequately characterised with its isomers composition. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
1983
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ASTM D3278 (Standard test methods for flash point of liquids by small scale closed-cup apparatus)
Version / remarks:
1996
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
inspection 15-16/11/2006; signed 26/02/2007
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Setaflash apparatus
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
(no data)
Flash point:
137 °C
Atm. press.:
98.1 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: measured; accuracy +/-2°C
Key result
Flash point:
137.74 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: corrected flash point

Preliminary determination: 135°C

Determination 1 (fresh sample): 137°C

Determination 2 (fresh sample): 137°C

Atmospheric pressure = 98.1 kPa

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria). Therefore, the test substance is NOT a flammable liquid according to CLP and GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to ISO 3679 (listed in EU A9 guideline), closed cup method.

Two main runs were performed; results were within accuracy so the average value was retained, and corrected to normal atmospheric pressure.

The flash point of the test substance is 138°C under normal atmP.

Description of key information

The substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid neither according to CLP Regulation criteria, nor to UN GHS.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
138 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method and under GLP, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.

This result is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties. (see IUCLID Section 4.13 endpoint summary for justification of non-classification)
