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:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus
Flash point:
72.5 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

The flash point was corrected to 1013 hPa and rounded off with an accuracy of 0.5 °C

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point at 1013 hPa is 72.5 °C for the test substance.
Executive summary:

The study to determine the flash point was performed according to the EU Guideline A.9 ' Flash point: Pensky-Martens (DIN EN ISO 2719)'. The substance was placed in a stirred test vessel which was progressively heated (5.5 K/min) until the vapour reaches a sufficiently high concentration in air to produce a flammable mixture which could be ignited. A defined gas flame was used as ignition source. The flame was periodically dipped into the gas atmosphere of the test vessel. The flash point of the test substance at 1013 hPa is 72.5 °C. The flash point was corrected to 1013 hPa and rounded off with an accuracy of 0.5 °C.
