Atmospheric pressure   =    103.68 kPa
Corrected flash point      =    212.458 ºC

Interpretation of results:
other: EU-GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test material has been determined to be 212 ± 2 °C.
Executive summary:

The flash point was determined using a closed cup equilibrium method, Method A.9 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

The flash point of the test material has been determined to be 212 ± 2 °C

Description of key information

flash point of the test material (determined using EU Method A.9, closed cup equilibrium method): 212 ± 2 °C (closed cup)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
210 °C
