Result:
not sustaining combustion

The three flash point values recorded were as follows: 62, 59, 62°C. The average of the three measurements is reported as the key value.

During the sustained combustibility tests, although flashing was momemtarily observed, combustion was not sustained for more than 15 seconds.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The Pensky-Martens closed cup method was applied for the determination of the flash point of the test substance. The flash point of the test substance was 61°C.
The sustained combustibility test showed that combustion was not sustained for more than fifteen seconds.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the substance was determined in accordance with ISO 2719:2002, using Pensky-Martens apparatus. The flash point was determined to be 61°C.

Since one of the individual flash point results was below 60°C, sustained combustibility was also assessed in accordance with Test L.2 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The sustained combustibility test showed that combustion was not sustained for more than fifteen seconds. Hence, in accordance with CLP section 2.6.4.5 in Flammable liquids:

"Liquids with a flash point of more than 35 °C and not more than 60 °C need not be classified in Category 3 if negative results have been obtained in the sustained combustibility test L.2, Part III, section 32 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria." the substance was not classified as a flammable liquid.

Description of key information

Flash Point = 61°C, ASTM 93, (2019)

Sustained Combustibility Test: Negative, Test L.2, Part III, Section 32 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria, (2019)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
61 °C

Additional information

One key study is submitted for this endpoint.

The supporting study conducted in accordance with EC Method A.9. Using this method, the flash point was determined to be 51°C (Baltussen, 2010).

The key study was conducted in accordance with ASTM 93. The flash point was determined to be 61 °C (Mountford, 2019). Sustained combustibility was also assessed in accordance with Test L.2 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The sustained combustibility test showed that combustion was not sustained for more than fifteen seconds. Hence, in accordance with CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Section 2.6.4.5 on Flammable liquids:

"Liquids with a flash point of more than 35 °C and not more than 60 °C need not be classified in Category 3 if negative results have been obtained in the sustained combustibility test L.2, Part III, section 32 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria." the substance was not classified as a flammable liquid. Based on the experience of the registrants of this substance, this study was more reflective of the flammable properties of the substance. The sustained combustibility test as part of this study confirms that the substance does not exhibit flammability.

It is therefore concluded that that substance is not classified as flammable in accordance with CLP Regulation, (EC) No. 1272/2008.
