- Executive summary:
GUIDELINE
The investigation was performed in accordance with Council of the European Communities(1992) EU Directive 92/69/EEC, Method A.9 "Flash-Point" and American Society for Testing and Materials(2013) D 93-13 "Flashpoint by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester".
METHODS
The flashpoint of the test substance was determined using the Pensky-Martens closed cup test method. The flashpoint measures the tendency of a substance to form a flammable mixture with air. In the Pensky-Martens method, the test substance is heated in a cup protected from the atmosphere at a constant rate with continual stirring. A device capable of ignition is periodically directed at the cup. The flashpoint is the lowest temperature, corrected to a pressure of one atmosphere (760 mm or 101.325 kPa), at which the vapor above the sample is ignited.
RESULTS
The mean measured flashpoint, when corrected to one atmosphere pressure (101.325 kPa) of the test substance was determined to be 88.1 °C (% difference = 2.42) or 361.3 K (% difference = 0.59).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
- For the flash point determinations, instrument performance was verified through the use of a
dodecane reference standard; the reference substance provided acceptable results (see Table 1, attached).
- Results of the observed and corrected flashpoint determinations for the test substance are presented in Tables 3 and 4 (attached).
- The mean measured corrected flashpoint of the test substance was determined to be 88.1 °C (n = 2, % difference = 2.42).
- The test substance native colour (light yellow) did not change during the flash point testing.
