Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Remarks on result:
no flash point according to standard method
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point could be determined for the test item.
Executive summary:

The flash point was of the test item was determined according to EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. The sample was tempered to 5 °C for the test according to EN ISO 3679.

The given value is the mean of 3 measurements. No flash point could be determined for the test item.

The investigations have been carried out at the following ambient conditions:

- Ambient temperature: 29 °C

- Ambient pressure: 100.7 kPa

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Flash point:
>= 74 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of crystalline lactic acid is > 74 °C.
Executive summary:

In this study, the flash point of lactic acid was reported to be > 74 °C, i.e. no flash point could be observed.

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Description of key information

The flash point of the racemate lactic acid (CAS 50-21-5) was determined by method EN ISO 3679. For ignition a natural gas flame was used. No ignition was observed visually. Thus, no flashpoint could be determined for the test item.

For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
