Because the difference between the two main test measurements was ≤3.1°C (mean value x 0.029), a second main test was not necessary

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A flash point value of 108.5°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Flash point: 108.5°C at 1013 hPa (ISO 2719)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
108.5 °C

Additional information

A measured flash point value of 108.5°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a closed cup ISO 2719 method according to EU Method A.9 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, a flash point value of 85°C was reported for the substance.

A flash point value of 108.5°C at 1013 hPa indicates that the substance should not be classified as a flammable liquid in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
