Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2020-01-20
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
- Remarks:
- performed acc. DIN EN ISO 2719, “Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Method”, sufficiently documented
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
- Version / remarks:
- DIN EN ISO 2719, “Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Method”
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Other quality assurance:
- other: Companies in-house quality assurance
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- > 100 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Remarks on result:
- no flash point up to 100°C
- Remarks:
- equivalent to boiling temperature of water
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- According to Regulation 1272/2008 and amendments, flammable liquid means a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60°C. Testing was according to a suitable national method, and the results are documented sufficiently, hence, the results are considered sufficiently reliable for assessment. As no flash point was determined up to 100°C, the registered substance does not need to be considered as flammable liquid.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the registered substance was determined acc. DIN EN ISO 2719, “Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Method” to be above 100°C, i.e. no flashpoint was observed up to 100°C at 1023 hPa. The substance does not need to be regarded as flammable liquid.
