Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
Data on flash point is obtained from publicly available data reported to the Environmental Risk Management Authority (ERMA) of New Zealand as presented on the e-Chem Portal web resource. Its acceptance by an authoritative body such as ERMA suffices to demonstrate its reliability.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 1523 (Determination of flash point - Closed cup equilibrium method)
Version / remarks:
2002. Remark: as stated in HSNO CCID
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
closed cup
Key result
Flash point:
36.11 °C
Atm. press.:
101.3 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: assume standard atmospheric pressure
Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of 3-methylpyridine was reported to ERMA of New Zealand to be 36.11°C. This data is made available on the e-Chem Portal, and its acceptance by an authoritative body such as ERMA suffices to demonstrate its reliability. The flash point falls in the range of greater than 23°C and less than 60°C, which is classified as Category 3 according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008.
