Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- Hess, Ministerium für Umwelt, Energie, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz, Wiesbaden, Germany
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Flash point:
- 84 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 (combustible liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item has a flash point of 84 °C at 1013 hPa.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to assess the flash point of the test substance according to European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.9. Flash point (Pensky-Martens (DIN EN ISO 2719)) and DIN EN ISO 2719: Determination of flash-point - Pensky-Martens.
The flash point is determined with the method according to Pensky-Martens (DIN EN ISO 2719). The test item is placed in a stirred test vessel (120 1/min) which is progressively heated (8.5 K/min for the preliminary test and 5.5 K/min for the main test) until the vapour reaches a sufficiently high concentration in air to produce a flammable mixture which could be ignited. A defined gas flame is used as ignition source. The flame is periodically dipped into the gas atmosphere of the test vessel (every 1 K).
The flash point indication is carried out visually by the operator, as well as automatically.
A flash point of 84 °C was determined for the test substance. Thus it has to be categorized as category 4, combustible liquid) based on GHS criteria.
Reference
According to the guideline the temperature for the final flash point is rounded down to the next lower 0.5 °C.

- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 84 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
