- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- Category 3 (flammable liquid) based on CLP (EU) criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 50.0°C (323.15K).
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test substance was determined according to EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point), using an equilibrium closed cup method.
The flash point of the test item has been determined to be 50.0°C (323.15K), which is the mean value of two independent valid determinations.
The flash point of test substance is below the classification thresholds of 60°C of both the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP criteria) and the UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
Therefore the test substance is classified as a flammable liquid, category 3, according to both the CLP criteria and the UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS).

Results
The flash point of the test item was detected at 48.0°C during the ramp test between 25°C and 55°C.
The flash point of the test item was detected at 49.0°C at 98.3 kPa.
The flash point value corrected at 101.3 kPa was 50.0°C.
The appearance of the test item left in the test cup did not change. No sign of decomposition or film formation was observed.
The flash point was detected at 49°C at 98.3 kPa.
The flash point value corrected at at 101.3 kPa was 50.0°C.
The appearance of the test item left in the test cup did not change. No sign of decomposition or film formation was observed.
Validation of the results
The flash point of the reference substances CRM, 75.0°C respects also the checking cards limits and complies with the validation criteria of 75.5 +/- 2 °C.
The measured flash point value for the reference substance butanol, 39.0°C is within the control cards limits and complies with the validation criteria of 38.0 +/- 1°C.
Description of key information
The substance is classified as a Flammable Liquid Category 3 according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 (CLP criteria).
The substance is classified as Flammable Liquid Category 3 (Combustible Liquid) according to UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS criteria).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 50 °C
Additional information
A fully reliable GLP experimental study, conducted according to the recognized EU A.9 method, using an equilibrium closed cup method (ISO3679:2015) is available.
It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data. This study is relevant for the classification regarding flammable properties.
