The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is therefore 45.0 ± 1.0°C (corresponding to 318.2 ± 1.0 K).

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point is given as the mean value of the duplicate determination. The measured flash point is therefore 45.0 ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 318.2 ± 1.0 K).
Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the flash point of test item according to EU A.9 guideline, using the non-equilibrium method.

The measured flash point is therefore 45.0 ± 1.0 °C (corresponding to 318.2 ± 1.0 K).

Description of key information

The flash point of test item was determined to be 45.0 ± 1.0°C (corresponding to 318.2 ± 1.0 K).

This value is the mean value of two independent determinations.

The substance is considered as a Flammable Liquid Category 3 according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP regulation) and UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
45 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to EU A9 guideline is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
