What is the flash point of ammonia water?

Where can I find the flash point of ammonia at different concentrations? Urgent need!
Reply to 1# yaojianjs: Ammonia itself is not flammable, but the volatile ammonia gas can explode when exposed to an open flame or high temperatures
How could ammonia have a flash point? . . . . Ammonia solution (usually 10%–35%); this product is non-flammable, but it is corrosive and irritating, and can cause burns to the human body. It decomposes easily to release ammonia; the higher the temperature, the faster the decomposition rate, which can result in an explosive atmosphere.
Ammonia solution does not have a flash point. However, ammonia water has a high saturated vapor pressure, making it very easy to reach the explosive limit and posing an explosion risk. For example, 28% ammonia solution: vp=0.953 bara at 28 degrees
It seems that this can only be tested by relevant institutions; the available information is hard to find. We have encountered similar situations before.
