Flash point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From August 18 to 26, 1997

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Remarks:

The study was conducted according to EC/ISO guideline, and under GLP. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised with its purity. Therefore full validation applies.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)

Deviations:

no

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

ISO No., other: ISO 2719, with the Pensky Martens apparatus

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Not applicable

GLP compliance:

yes

Remarks:

(no certificate)

Type of method:

non-equilibrium method closed cup

Key result

Flash point:

84 °C

Atm. press.:

100.1 kPa

Table 4.11/1: Flash point – results

Tests	Temperature	Atmospheric pressure	Corrected flash point
Preliminary test	84°C	100.1 kPa	84°C
First test	84°C	100.1 kPa
Second test	84°C	100.1 kPa

 

Accuracy of the method is indicated in the standard:

• repeatability of the method (same operator) : 2 °C (6 °C if flash point > 104 °C),

• reproducibility of the method (different operators) : 3.5 °C (8.5 °C if flash point > 104 °C).

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 (combustible liquids) based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

EU-CLP criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid according to CLP criteria (>60°C).
GHS Flam.Liq.4 (< 93°C)

Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to ISO 2719 (listed in EU A9 guideline), non-equilibrium closed cup method (Pensky Martens apparatus°. 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 84 ±2°C.

Description of key information

The substance is NOT classified as flammable liquid according to CLP Regulation criteria.
The substance is classified as FLAMMABLE LIQUID category 4 according to UN GHS criteria.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:

84 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU method (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.
