Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the substance was determined to be 58°C (at 1013 hPa).
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the substance was determined using the modified continuously closed cup ASTM D7094 method to be 62°C (at 1013 hPa).
Since the flash point was in the range of 60°C ± 2°C, the ISO 3679 rapid equilibrium closed cup method was also conducted. The flash-point of the substance was determined to be 58°C (at 1013 hPa).
