Administrative data

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2005
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to a recognised guideline, prior to GLP requirements, but no experimental details are provided. The substance is identified, but purity is missing. Therefore validation applies with restrictions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 (combustible liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of test substance is above the classification threshold of 60°C. Therefore, the test substance is NOT a flammable liquid according to CLP criteria.
The flash point of test substance is between the classification thresholds of 60 and 93°C. Therefore, the test substance is classified as Flammable Liquid cat4 according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test substance was determined according to ISO 3679/3680 (listed in EU Method A.9), using a closed cup equilibrium method.

The flash point of test substance has been determined to be 67 ± 2 °C, corrected to normal atmP.
