The measurements were conducted on 27. May 2020.

 

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point is given as 98.3 ± 0.8 °C (corresponding to 371.4 ± 0.8 K).
Executive summary:

An experimental study, conducted in accordance with conditions recommended in OECD guideline and under GLP, is performed. The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is therefore 98.3 ± 0.8°C (corresponding to 371.4 ± 0.8 K).

Therefore, the flash point is given as 98.3 ± 0.8 °C (corresponding to 371.4 ± 0.8 K).

The difference between the two values which were measured was below 2 K. For this reason, the determination was considered valid.

No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
