- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- no flash point according to standard method
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No flash point could be determined for the test item.
- Executive summary:
The flash point was of the test item was determined according to EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. The sample was tempered to 5 °C for the test according to EN ISO 3679.
The given value is the mean of 3 measurements.
No flash point could be determined for the test item.
The investigations have been carried out at the following ambient conditions:
- Ambient temperature: 29 °C
- Ambient pressure: 100.7 kPa
This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Description of key information
The flash point of the racemate lactic acid (CAS 50-21-5) was determined by method EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. Thus, no flashpoint could be determined for the test item.
For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
