Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Experimental dates: 06-08 December 2016
- 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. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The test substance is adequately characterised. 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:
- ISO 3679-2004 (E), Second Edition – 2004-04-01, P1-18
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ASTM D3278 (Standard test methods for flash point of liquids by small scale closed-cup apparatus)
- Version / remarks:
- ASTM D-3278-89, P1-7
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Anon (1983) Paints, Varnishes, Petroleum and Related Products – Determination of Flash Point – Rapid Equilibrium Method
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Anon (1989) Flash Point of Liquids by Setaflash Closed-Cup Apparatus
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- UK GLP Compliance Monitoring Programme (inspected on 05 July 2016 / issued on 28 October 2016)
- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Setaflash apparatus
- Dynamic viscosity of test material:
- no data
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 118 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.325 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria). Therefore the test substance is NOT classified as a flammable liquid.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test substance was measured under GLP according to ISO 3679 (listed in EU guideline A.9), using a closed cup equilibrium method.
The flash point of test substance has been determined to be 118 ± 2 °C, corrected to normal atmP.
Reference
Detailed observations are available in the study report.
Measured Flash Point = 118°C
Atmospheric pressure: 101.6 kPa
Corrected flash point: 117.9 ºC
Accuracy: ± 2 °C
Description of key information
The substance is NOT classified as a flammable liquid neither according to CLP Regulation criteria, nor to UN GHS.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 118 °C
Additional information
A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU/ISO method (equilibrium closed cup) and under GLP, 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. (see IU Section 4.13 for justification of non-classification)
