In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 83.0 °C.

The average measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 83.195 °C

The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 83.0 °C.

 

Final Results

The test item has a flash point of 83.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point, CIPAC MT 12 (2009) and Guideline OCSPP 830.6315 (1996).

 

Conclusions:
A flash point value of 83.0 °C (at 1005.1 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to E.U. Method A.9.
