In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 134 °C. The measured flash points are corrected to the ambient pressure and averaged to be 135.16 °C. The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 135 °C.
UN Transport Regulation: as the test item has a measured flash point of 135 °C (>60 °C), it has not to be classified in class 3 as flammable liquid.
GHS (CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.6): as the test item has a measured flash point of 135 °C (> 60 °C), it has not to be classified as flammable liquid.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
