Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2004
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation was reported. Substance ID is adequately specified with purity. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
not specified
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
Version / remarks:

equilibrium method closed cup
Key result
Flash point:
109 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa
Flash point:
108 °C
Atm. press.:
97 kPa

The measured flash temperature was corrected to a pressure of 101.325 kPa using equation of

 FP = C + 0.23*(101.325-B)

FP: corrected flashpoint

C: observed flashpoint (118ºC)

B = ambient atmospheric pressure (97.0 kPa)

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Flash point: 109ºC
The substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid according to CLP criteria (>60°C) or GHS criteria (> 93°C)
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was measured under GLP according to ISO 3679 (listed in EU A9 guideline), rapid equilibrium closed cup method. The test was carried out in duplicate, and the mean measured value was corrected to normal atmospheric pressure. .

The normal flash point of test substance has been determined to be 109 ±2°C.

Description of key information

The substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid according to CLP Regulation or GHS criteria.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
109 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted under GLP according to a recognized EU/ISO method, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

This study is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties.
