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:
- September 2010
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study with acceptable restrictions

- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
- Deviations:
- not specified
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ISO No., other: ASTM D 3828-97: Small Scale Closed Tester
- Deviations:
- not specified
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- ASTM D 3828-97: Small Scale closed Tester
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Remarks:
- Setaflash
- Key result
- Flash point:
- ca. 45 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 1 atm
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 (flammable liquids) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the substance MYRCENE is 45°C. Therefore, it is classified as flammable liquid in category 3 according to CLP and GHS regulations.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of MYRCENE was determined with a closed cup tester by an equilibrium method "Small Scale", commonly known as Setaflash where the vapours are deemed to be in temperature equilibrium with the liquid. The study was based on the procedures indicated by the following internationally accepted methods:
- ASTM D 3828 -97: Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Small Scale Closed Tester.
- EU method Part A, A.9
Two measurements were performed.
The flash point of substance MYRCENE is 45°C. Therefore, it is classified as flammable liquid in category 3 according to CLP and GHS regulations.
Reference
The measured values for the reference substances were:
Flash point of butanol: 36.0°C and 36.0°C
Flash point of N,N dimethylformamide: 58.1°C and 59.0°C
Flash point of Setaflash Certified Material 99878 -3: 74.3°C and 75.0°C
The measured values for the test item were: 45.3°C and 45.6°C.
According to the Standard Test Method ASTM D 3828 -97 the precision of the method is for a flash point of 149°C as follow:
Repeatability: 2.0°C
Reproductibility: 7.5°C
Description of key information
The flash point of MYRCENE is stated as 45°C.
Therefore, it is classified as flammable liquid in category 3 according to CLP and GHS regulations.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 45 °C
Additional information
The flash point of MYRCENE was determined in a study performed according to ASTM D 3828 -97 method and EU method A9.
The value was considered with a reliability of 2 (reliable with restrictions) because the result is scientifically acceptable but not obtained under GLP and some details were lacking in the report. However the measured flash point is valid for key value giving consistent results. It is supported by data from three Handbooks.
