Flash point
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:
- 07 December 2015 - 26 July 2017
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Identity: RM1006114
Appearance: White creamy solid (at 20°C)
Storage conditions: Room temperature (15 to 25°C)
Batch number: RL 686/15
Purity: 100%
Expiry date: 30 October 2018
Date received: 12 November 2015 - Key result
- Flash point:
- ca. 148 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 1 025 mBar
- Flash point:
- ca. 150 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 1 025 mBar
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The substance flash point was evaluated in accordance with EU Method A.9 via a GLP-certified laboratory using the closed-cup method. The flash point was determined to be 148 °C at 1025 mBar and is therefore not classified under GHS criteria for flammability.
- Executive summary:
The substance flash point was evaluated in accordance with EU Method A.9 via a GLP-certified laboratory using the closed-cup method.
The test cup was filled with the prescribed volume of test item. The apparatus was then assembled in a fume cupboard. The test flame was lit and adjusted such that it was approximately 4 mm in diameter. The test item was stirred continuously except during the application of the test flame. The test item was heated and the test flame was applied at every 2°C rise. The test was repeated using a fresh sample. The barometric pressure was recorded.
The flash point was determined to be 148 °C at 1025 mBar and is therefore not classified under GHS criteria for flammability.
Reference
In duplicate determinations, the observed flash points of RM1006114 were determined to be 150°C and 148°C. No pressure correction was necessary, therefore the lower of these values was used to derive the flash point of 148°C for safety reasons.

Additional information
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
