Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study performed under GLP. All relevant validity criteria were met.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:

ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
inspected: October 2005; signature: February 2005
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
other: Small Scale Closed-Cup apparatus
Flash point:
127 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: 126.8 ± 2 °C ; Determination completed at 97.8 kPa atmospheric pressure and corrected to 101.325 kPa
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
EU criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the substance has been determined to be 127 ± 2 °C at 101.325 kPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point was determined using EU Method A.9 small scale closed cup equilibrium method under GLP. An aliquot of the test item was transferred to the sample cup of the rapid flash tester. The sample was heated and allowed to equilibrate at the set temperature. The test flame was introduced into the sample cup for approximately 2 seconds by sliding the cup shutter open. Observations were made for ignition of the vapour. If no ignition occurred, the temperature was increased and the test flame re-introduced. This was repeated until the lowest reproducible temperature at which a flash occurred, using a fresh sample, was determined. The results indicated are representative of the replicated (n ≥ 2) lowest temperature at which the test substance (measured under the conditions of this study) causes the vapour of the liquid to ignite momentarily. Measurements were corrected to 101.325 kPa pressure. The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 127 ± 2 °C at 101.325 kPa.

Additional information

Key Study : EU Method A.9, 2005 : The flash point was determined using EU Method A.9 small scale closed cup equilibrium method under GLP. An aliquot of the test item was transferred to the sample cup of the rapid flash tester. The sample was heated and allowed to equilibrate at the set temperature. The test flame was introduced into the sample cup for approximately 2 seconds by sliding the cup shutter open. Observations were made for ignition of the vapour. If no ignition occurred, the temperature was increased and the test flame re-introduced. This was repeated until the lowest reproducible temperature at which a flash occurred, using a fresh sample, was determined. The results indicated are representative of the replicated (n ≥ 2) lowest temperature at which the test substance (measured under the conditions of this study) causes the vapour of the liquid to ignite momentarily. Measurements were corrected to 101.325 kPa pressure. The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 127 ± 2 °C at 101.325 kPa.
