Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions (e.g. non-GLP)

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)

Version / remarks:

2002

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

closed cup

Remarks:

MP EN22719A/ ISO2719A

Flash point:

58 °C

Atm. press.:

1 013 hPa

Details on single measurements:

First measurement: 58 °C;

Second measurement: 59 °C;

Mean value: 58 °C

The correction to ambient pressure (1013 hPa) was accomplished automatically during measurements by the apparatus.

Interpretation of results:

Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Flash point = 58 °C at 1013 hPa

Executive summary:

The flash point for the submission substance was determined according to EU method A.9 using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method according to DIN EN ISO 2719. Two replicate measurements were performed, resulting in a mean flash point of 58 °C at 1013 hPa.

The laboratory complied with a quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2008 and DIN EN ISO 14001 : 2005.

Key result

Flash point:

63.5 °C

Details on single measurements:

First measurement: 64.0 °C;

Second measurement: 63.0 °C;

Mean value: 63.5 °C

Interpretation of results:

Category 4 (combustible liquids) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

The flash point of n-octylamine was determined according to JIS K 2265-3 : 2007 as 63.5 °C.

Executive summary:

The flash point for the submission substance was determined according to JIS K 2265-3:2007 using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method (procedure A). Two replicate measurements were performed, resulting in a mean flash point of 63.5 °C at 1013 hPa.

Description of key information

Flash point (DIN EN ISO 2719 / ASTM D93-07) at 1013 hPa: 58 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:

58 °C

Additional information

Within the reliable key study (OXEA, 2009), the flash point of n-octylamine was determined according to EU method A.9 using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method (DIN EN ISO 2719). Two replicate measurements were performed, resulting in a mean flash point of 58 °C at 1013 hPa.

In another study (Kao, 2017), the flash point of n-octylamine was determined according to JIS K 2265-3:2007 using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method (procedure A). Two replicate measurements were performed, resulting in a mean flash point of 63.5 °C at 1013 hPa.

For both studies a reliability of 2 was assigned, because they are performed comparable to guideline study. However, the study (OXEA, 2009) with the lower flash point was selected as key study and for classification because of safety reasons, according to ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria, Version 5.0, chapter 2.6.4.4.2.
