Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- From 01 October 2015 to 11 July 2017
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Version / remarks:
- May 2008
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: United Nations (UN), UN no. ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5: Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Part III: Classification Procedures, Test Methods and Criteria, Paragraph 32.4.1: “Non-Viscous Flammable Liquids"
- Version / remarks:
- 2009
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
- Version / remarks:
- 2002
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by pensky-martens closed cup tester)
- Version / remarks:
- December 2002
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- In order to obtain a homogeneous sample, the test item is liquefied in a water bath before to be used.
The water bath was at a temperature of 42°C. - Flash point:
- 161 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013.25 hPa
- Flash point:
- 159 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013.25 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test item is 159°C at normal atmospheric pressure.
Based on this value and on the test item boiling point (no boiling before decomposition at 250°C), it is not classified as flammable liquid according to GHS criteria. - Executive summary:
The flash point of the test item was determined by the closed cup method according to recognised guidelines and under GLP.
No deviation from these guidelines was observed during the study.
The flash point of the test item is 159°C at normal atmospheric pressure.
Based on this value and on the test item boiling point (no boiling before decomposition at 250°C), it is not classified as flammable liquid according to GHS criteria.
Reference
Preliminary test result:
The estimated flash-point was 158°C
Main test results:
The lowest temperature at which a flash point was observed was chosen as test item flash point. This value was 159°C.
Description of key information
The test item flash point was determined in an experimental key study (Klimisch validity one, according to recognised guidelines).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 159 °C
Additional information
Based on the flash point value and on the boiling point data (no boiling before decomposition at 250°C), the test item is not classified as flammable liquid according to GHS criteria.
