Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Experimental date: 07 April 2020
- 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 without deviation. Test substance ID is considered suitable.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Version / remarks:
- Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
- Version / remarks:
- 2015 Second Edition, P1-22
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Anon Determination of Flash no Flash and Flash Point – Rapid Equilibrium Closed Cup Method
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Anon (2011) Flash Point of Liquids by Small Scale Closed Cup Apparatus
- 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, P1-8
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- issued on 19/11/2018
- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Setaflash apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 151 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.3 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 a flammable liquid according to CLP and GHS criteria.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to ISO 3679 standard (listed in EU A.9 guideline), using an equilibrium closed cup method, with Setaflash apparatus.
Duplicate determinations of the actual flash point were made.
The flash point of the test substance was determined to be 151°C.

Detailed determinations are available in the study report.
Throughout testing once melted the test item remained a liquid there were no signs of drying out.
Atmospheric pressure: 102.4 kPa
Observed flash point: 151 °C
Corrected flash point: 150.8 °C
Description of key information
The (melted) substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid neither according to CLP Regulation criteria, nor to UN GHS.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 151 °C
Additional information
At ambient temperature, the substance is under the solid form, so the EU A10/UN N1 test is relevant to assess the flammable properties (please refer to IU section 4.13).
However, considering the low melting point (ca 46°C), the Flash Point was additionally measured because the substance will turn into liquid below the CLP/GHS higher classification thresholds (resp. 60 and 93°C).
A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU/ISO method and under GLP, is available. Therefore it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
(see IU Section 4.13 for justification of non-classification)
