Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point:
187.5 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

The flash point was determined with the method according to Pensky-Martens (DIN EN ISO 2719).

The mean flash point corrected to 1013 hPa is 187.7 °C

The final flash point rounded down to 0.5 °C is 187.5 °C.

Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item is 187.5 °C under atmospheric conditions (1013 hPa). Therefore, the substance is no subject to classification and labelling.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item is 187.5 °C under atmospheric conditions (1013 hPa). Therefore, the substance is no subject to classification and labelling.

Endpoint:

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
1991
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO No., other: 84/449/EWG, A.9; (in Anlehnung an DIN 51758)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
closed cup
Flash point:
219 °C
Remarks on result:
other: determined with closed-cup method
Conclusions:
The flash point of the substance was determined to be 219 °C. Based on this test result, the substance is no subject to classification and labelling.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the substance was determined to be 219 °C by applying the closed-cup method. Based on this test result, the substance is no subject to classification and labelling.

Description of key information

Flash point (EU-method A.9; GLP): 187.5 °C at 1013 hPa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
187.5 °C

Additional information

In the reliable key study (Siemens, 2009; RL1) performed compliant with GLP according to EU-Method A.9, the flash point of the test item was determined to be 187.5 °C under atmospheric conditions (1013 hPa). Therefore, the substance is no subject to classification and labelling.

This result is essentially confirmed by the supporting study (Hüls, 1991). In this study, the flash point of the substance was determined to be 219 °C by applying the closed cup method.
