Conclusions:
The flash point of the test substance, Terpenes and Terpenoids, turpentine-oil, limonene fraction, polymers with 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohexene and turpentine-oil β-pinene fraction terpenes, was determined to be 166.0 ± 2 °C at an atmospheric pressure of 102.0 pKa.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance, Terpenes and Terpenoids, turpentine-oil, limonene fraction, polymers with 1 -methyl-4 -(1 -methylethenyl)cyclohexene and turpentine-oil β-pinene fraction terpenes, was determined using a Setaflash 30000 -0 closed cup flash point tester in a process compatible with Method A.9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

A 2ml aliquot for temperatures up to 100°C or a 4ml aliquot for temperatures above 100°C of test substance was transferred to the sample cup of the Setaflash 30000 -0 tester and then heated and allowed to equilibriate at the set temperature. The test flame was introduced into the sample cup for approximately 2.5 seconds by sliding the cup shutter open and then the vapour was then observed for signs of ignition. The temperature was increased and the test flame re-introduced if no ignition occurred. The process was repeated until it was possible to determine the lowest reproducible temperature at which a flash occurred using a fresh sample. The flash point was corrected for atmospheric pressure via the following equation: Corrected flash point = C + 0.23 (101.325 - p) where C = observed flash point (°C) and P = ambient atmospheric pressure (kPa).

The observed flash point of the test substance was 166.0°C, which when corrected gave a value of 165.8°C at an atmospheric pressure of 102.2 pKa.
