- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- When the study plan was prepared the test item was identified by m- & o-terphenyl rxn mass only. Subsequently a batch number and appearance became available and these have been included in the report.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Setaflash apparatus
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Identification: Reaction mass of m-terphenyl and o-terphenyl
Appearance/Physical state: Cream colored solid
Storage conditions: Approximately 4 °C, under nitrogen in the dark - Key result
- Flash point:
- 182 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 100.5 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- other: EU GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 182 ± 2 °C. Atmospheric pressure: 100.5 kPa
- Executive summary:
Flash Point of the test item was determined to be 182 ± 2 °C, using a closed cup equilibrium method designed to be compatible with Method A.9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Description of key information
Flash Point of the test item was determined to be 182 ± 2 °C, using a closed cup equilibrium method designed to be compatible with Method A.9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 182 °C
Additional information
Atmospheric pressure at test-procedure was determined as 100.5 kPa. This is in slight difference to the above stated pressure for CSA, but the difference is insignificant.
