Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1990-09-17 to 1990-10-30
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study without detailed documentation
- Remarks:
- The study followed an international standard, however no experimental details and no Certificate of Analysis of the test substance were provided.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO No., other: JIS K 2265
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO No., other: ASTM D 1310-86
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Tag apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 30 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: The atm. pressure was not reported in the reprt, and therefore is considered as ambiant pressure.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of Trifluoroethanol is 30°C.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of trifluoroethanol (purity not specified) was measured in closed cup according to JIS K 2265 standard, and in open cup (i.e. combustion point) according to ASTM D 1310-86 standard. Results were respectively 30.0 and 66°C.
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- not specified
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)

- Flash point:
- 29 °C
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of Trifluoroethanol is 29°C.
- Executive summary:
The german GESTIS database provides information on hazardous substances, including some physico-chemical properties; a Flash Point of 29°C is cited for the substance 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol.
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- not specified
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- secondary literature
- Remarks:
- Data comes from an online database, with only endpoint value (no experimental details), and therefore cannot be assigned as reliable.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 29.44 °C
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of Trifluoroethanol is 29.44°C.
- Executive summary:
The HSNO database provides information on classification of chemicals; a Flash Point of 29.44°C is cited for the substance 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol.

Description of key information
Experimental result: 30°C (Ohashi 1990)
Literature data: 29°C (Gestis database); 29.44°C (HSNO)
The substance Trifluoroethanol is classified as Flammable liquid (cat.3) according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP) criteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 29.5 °C
Additional information
An experimental study, relating to flash point measurement in closed cup, was provided and considered as reliable, as based on an international standard.
Two literature data, despite not assignable, were fully consistent. The endpoint key value will be the arithmetic mean of the three above values.
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).
