Reference
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)
Version / remarks:
(considered more appropriate than EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)) given the low melting temperature of the test material (9°C)).
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
non-equilibrium method closed cup
Key result
Remarks on result:
no flash point - measurement carried out until boiling temperature

The barometric pressure at the time of testing was 1016 mbar.

In the duplicate determinations, no flash was observed before the test substance appeared to boil. This observation precluded obtaining a flash point value.

Description of key information

No flash point was determined until boiling temperature (1016 mbar) (EU A.9)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

EU Method A.9 was considered more appropriate than EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids)) given the low melting temperature of the test material (9°C).
