Conclusion

The flash point of the test item was 101.0 ± 1.0°C (corrected value).

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A flash point value of 101.0 ± 1.0°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Flash point:  101.0 ± 1.0°C at 1013 hPa (ISO 3679)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
101 °C

Additional information

A flash point value of 101.0 ± 1.0°C at 1013 hPa was determined for the substance using an equilibrium closed-cup method in accordance with ISO 3679 Test Method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

A measured flash point of 101.0 ± 1.0°C and predicted boiling point of 290°C indicate that the substance should not be classified for flammability in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
