The measured flash points are corrected to standard pressure and averaged to be 171.7 °C.


The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 171.5 °C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 171.5 °C at 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was determined in an experimental study according to Regulation EC No 440/2008 Method A.9 using the closed cup method with a Pensky-Martens apparatus. The flash point was determined to be 171.5 °C at 1013 hPa. Therefore the test item has not to be classified as flammable liquid.
