Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The measured flash point of test item was 145.5 ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 418.7 ± 1.0 K).
The flash point of test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria).
Therefore the test substance is not classified as a flammable liquid.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined according to EU Method A9, using the non-equilibrium closed-cup method.

The measured flash point of test item was 145.5 ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 418.7 ± 1.0 K). This value is a mean of two determination .

The flash point of test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria).

Therefore the test substance is not classified as a flammable liquid.

Description of key information

The measured flash point of test item was 145.5 ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 418.7 ± 1.0 K).

The flash point of test substance is above the classification thresholds of 60°C (CLP criteria) or 93°C (GHS criteria).

Therefore the test substance is not classified as a flammable liquid.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
145.5 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to EU A9 guideline is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
