The lowest flash point corrected to 1013 hPa rounded down with an accuracy of 0.5 °C is 48.5 °C.

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was 48.5 °C under atmospheric conditions (1013 hPa).
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was determined according to EC Method A.9. Based on results of the main test, the lowest flash point corrected to 1013 hPa rounded down with an accuracy of 0.5 °C was 48.5 °C. Based on criteria set in the CLP regulation the test item is a flammable liquid (Category 3).
