Temperature is corrected to standard atmospheric pressure and temperature deviation by special equation:

T = C + 0.25 (101.3 – p),

C – the ignition temperature, taking into account the deviation = 45.0ºC;

p – ambient barometric pressure = 101.1 kPa.

Measurement uncertainty: 1.0ºC.

T = C + 0.25 (101.3 – p) = 45.0ºC + 0.25(101.3 kPa – 101.1 kPa) = 45.0ºC

The result is rounded to 0.5ºC.

Interpretation of results:
other: Flammable liquid cat. 3 (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 45.0ºC.
Executive summary:

In accordance with GLP study and EU A.9 method, the determination of flash point was carried out. The flash point of the test item was determined by Abel closed-cup Method. A preliminary test was performed applying the ignition source at 3 °C temperature intervals. The next tests (two main tests) were performed applying the ignition source at 0.5 °C intervals beginning from the temperature lower about 9 °C than the flash point obtained in the preliminary test. The flash point values obtained were 44.5ºC and 45.0ºC in the test 1 and test 2, respectively. After correction due to deviation of the thermometer and atmospheric pressure the final flash point of the test item was determined to be 45.0 ± 1.0ºC at 101.3 kPa.

Additional information

Key study: In accordance with GLP study and EU A.9 method, the flash point of the test item was determined by Abel closed-cup Method. In the main tests, the flash point values obtained were 44.5ºC and 45.0ºC in the test 1 and test 2, respectively. After correction due to deviation of the thermometer and atmospheric pressure the final flash point of the test item was determined to be 45.0 ± 1.0ºC at 101.3 kPa.

Supporting studies: Individual flash points of some main components of the test substance are available from peer review handbooks. The flash point of terpinolene is 37.2ºC, the flash point of camphene is 34 ºC and flash point of alpha pinene is 32.3ºC.
