Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- August 25, 2004
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO No., other: ISO 3679-1983 (F)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO No., other: ASTM D3278-96
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Not applicable
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- Swiss GLP compliance programme (inspected on September 09 and 30, 2002/ signed on December 2002)
- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Physical state: Colourless liquid
- Storage condition of test material: Refrigerator (between 0 and 10 °C under nitrogen) - Key result
- Flash point:
- 155 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.325 kPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: Observed flash point: 154 ± 2 °C at 97.4 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- GHS and EU-CLP criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria). Therefore the test substance is NOT classified as a flammable liquid.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to ISO 3679 (listed in EU A9 guideline), using closed cup equilibrium method. The main test was performed in duplicate, and the mean result was retained, and corrected to normal atmospheric pressure:
Observed flash point: 154°C
Atmospheric pressure: 97.4 kPa
Corrected flash point: 154.9 °C
The flash point of the test substance has been determined to be 155 ± 2 °C.

Description of key information
The substance is NOT classified as a flammable liquid according to CLP and GHS criteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 155 °C
Additional information
A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized ISO/EC method (closed cup equilibrium method) and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
This study is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties.
