Description of key information
Ethyl formate is a liquid and has a flash point of -20 Deg C and boiling point of 54.5 Deg C. Thus in accordance with the Annex I of the CLP regulation, ethyla formate shall be considered to be a "Category 2 Flammable Liquid" considering the criteria of Flash point < 23 °C and boiling point > 35 °C. In addition, this chemical has a Harmonized Classification of "Flammable Liquid Category 2". Thus, this end point was not considered for testing.
