Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2014-09-02
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point apparatus:
Setaflash apparatus
Key result
Flash point:
< 20 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable, other reason:
Remarks:
The ignition starts immediately when the flame was brought into contact with the vapour in the closed cup.
Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (highly flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point was determined to be below 20 °C.
Executive summary:

A study similat to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.9 was perfomed to determine the flash point of the test item using the Setaflash apparatus and the closed cup method. 2 mL of the test item were injected in the closed cup and the flame was brought to the vapours in the closed cup. The flash point of the test item is below room temperature (20 °C) as the ignition starts immediately when the flame was brought into contact with the vapour in the closed cup.

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item was determined to be below 20 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
