Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2012-10-01 to 2012-12-06
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Atmospheric pressure was not recorded during the study due to instrumental malfunction. The flash point value was corrected using the highest and lowest historical atmospheric pressures (95.79 and 103.93 kPa). The resulting values were within ± 2°C of the observed flash point.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point:
179 °C
Atm. press.:
103.93 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: The flash point value was corrected using the highest and lowest historical atmospheric pressures (95.79 and 103.93 kPa). The resulting values were within ± 2°C of the observed value

See the attached document for the table of results

Conclusions:
The flash point of the test material is 179 °C
Executive summary:

Introduction

Hazardous physico-chemical properties of the test item have been determined.Methods employed are designed to be compatible with those specified in Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.

Method

The flash point was determined using a closed cup equilibrium method, designed to be compatible with Method A9 Flash Point of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Conclusion

The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 179°C.
