Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The sample is heated at a rate of 5 to 6°C per minute with continual stirring at 90 to 120
rpm in a closed cup (volume ca. 100 cm3). A small flame with a diameter of 3.2 to 4.8 mm
is directed into the cup containing the sample, at regular intervals, with simultaneous
interruption of stirring. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the application of
a flame results in an ignition of the vapour, above the sample.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Pensky-Martens apparatus

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No flash point could be detected to the boiling temperature. The substance is not meeting the criteria for classification as flammable.
Executive summary:

Testing of flammability was performed according to EU Method A9 (Flash Point) using a Pensky-Martens closed cup apparatus. No flash point could be detected to the boiling temperature. The substance is not meeting the criteria for classification as flammable.
