Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Flash point (EU method A.9; Pensky-Martens closed cup): 46 °C (1013 hPa)
Executive summary:

In a reliable study performed according to relevant guidelines (e.g. EU method A.9) compliant with GLP, the flash point of the liquid submission substance was determined according to the Pensky-Martens closed cup method.

The flash-point of the test item was 46 °C (1013 hPa).

Description of key information

Flash point (EU method A.9; Pensky-Martens closed cup): 46 °C (1013 hPa)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
46 °C

Additional information

In a reliable study performed according to relevant guidelines (e.g. EU method A.9) compliant with GLP, the flash point of the liquid submission substance was determined according to the Pensky-Martens closed cup method.

The flash-point of the test item was 46 °C (1013 hPa).

As a conclusion, the submission substance is classified according to REGULATION (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as well as UN-GHS rev. 7 (2017) as

Flammable liquid category 3

based on a flash point between 23°C and 60°C.
