Ignitions were visually determined by the tester. In the first and second main tests, ignitions were determined at 248.0 °C and 250.0 °C, respectively.

Conclusions:
The flash point of the test substance is 249.0 °C at standard atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

The test substance exhibited a flash point of 249.0 °C according to EC Test Procedure A.9. The applied testing method is identical to the testing method in UN-Manual ‘Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods–Manual of Tests and Criteria’ (fourth revised edition) UN 32.4.1. With application of EC-Guideline 1272/2008 (Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures, CLP) the criteria for classification the test substance as non-flammable liquid are fulfilled.

Description of key information

According to EU Method A.9, the flash point is 249.0 °C at standard atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
249 °C

Additional information

The lowest temperature at which the application of the ignition source causes the vapour of the test portion to ignite and propagate over the surface of the liquid was recorded as the flash point at the ambient barometric pressure (1012 hPa). This temperature was corrected automatically by the apparatus to standard atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa). With application of EC-Guideline 1272/2008 (Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures, CLP) the criteria for classification the test substance as non-flammable liquid are fulfilled.
