- 150 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 997.4 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item has a flash point of 150.0°C.
- Executive summary:
The study was carried out according to EU method A.9 and is reliable without restriction (Klimisch 1). The test item has a flash point of 150.0°C at 997.4 hPa, as determined by closed cup method. With a measured flash point > 60 °C, the test item is not classified as a flammable liquid according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1.
Reference
Table 1. Flash point results from preliminary test
| Amount of test item (g) | Temperature (°C) | Ignition (+/-) | Air pressure (hPa) |
| 63.07 | 148.0 | + | 997.4 |
Table 2. Flash point results from main test
| Amount of test item (g) | Temperature (°C) | Ignition (+/-) | Air pressure (hPa) | Corrected flash point (°C) |
| 62.56 | 149 | + | 997.4 | 149.39 |
| 60.98 | 151 | + | 997.4 | 151.39 |
In the preliminary test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 148.0 °C. In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 149.0 °C. The average measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 150.39 °C. The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 150.0 °C.
According to the results of the test on the flash point, the test item is classified as follows:
UN Transport Regulation: With a measured flash point > 60 °C, the test item does not have to be classified as flammable liquid in class 3 according to the UN Transport Regulation.
GHS (CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.6): With a measured flash point > 60 °C, the test item does not have to be classified as flammable liquid according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1.
Directive 67/548/EEC: With a measured flash point ≥ 55 °C the test item does not have to be classified as flammable liquid or mixture.
Description of key information
The test item has a flash point of 150.0°C at 997.4 hPa, as determined by closed cup method.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 150 °C
Additional information
The study was carried out according to EU method A.9 and is reliable without restriction (Klimisch 1) (2015). The test item has a flash point of 150.0°C at 997.4 hPa, as determined by closed cup method. With a measured flash point > 60 °C, the test item is not classified as a flammable liquid according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1.
