Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 122 ± 2°C.
Executive summary:

The hazardous physico-chemical properties of the test item have been determined.

Methods employed are designed to be compatible with those specified in Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties and the current OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals.

Method

The flash point was determined using a closed cup equilibrium method, designed to be compatible with Method A9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Conclusion

The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 122 ± 2°C.

Description of key information
