What does Section 2 say?

Section 2 is where the supplier of the SDS will provide the classification of the product under supply in this case a screen wash along with the labelling information - Pictogram, Signal Word, Hazard and Precuationary Statements.

Section 3 lists the constituents of the mixture which if you have 10% alcohol then it is likley the remaining unnamed 90% will be water.

Hi Roundtuit

SECTION 2: Hazards identification
2.1. Classification of the substance or mixture
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
This mixture is classified as not hazardous according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 [CLP]
2.2. Label elements
This mixture is classified as not hazardous according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 [CLP]
Hazard statements
This mixture is classified as not hazardous according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 [CLP]
Precautionary Statements - EU (§28, 1272/2008)
P101 - If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
P102 - Keep out of reach of children.
P501 - Dispose of contents/ container in accordance with national regulations.
Labelling for contents according to regulation (EC) No. 648/2004
Unknown aquatic toxicity Contains 0.065 % of components with unknown hazards to the aquatic environment.
2.3. Other hazards
No information available.
Endocrine Disruptor Information This product does not contain any known or suspected endocrine disruptors

So the classification as stated is "not hazardous to health" and has no "physical hazard" i.e. not flammable.

Even when Methanol is mentioned its concentration is below the specific concentration limits required to trigger a classification.

That Section 3 information is about the individual substances each considered as 100% constituent.

mmm...

Is it Flammable?

• Ethyl alcohol (Ethanol):
  • Present at 5–<10%.
  • Classification: Flam. Liq. 2 (H225) (Highly flammable liquid and vapour).
  • Flash Point: 61°C (from your product SDS).
  • CLP’s flammable liquid categories are:
    • Category 2: Flash point <23°C.
    • Category 3: Flash point ≥23°C and ≤60°C.
  • At 61°C, this product would not be classified as flammable under CLP. The flash point is just above the cut-off for classification (Category 3 ends at 60°C).
• Methanol:
  • Present at 0.025–<0.25%.
  • Classification: Flam. Liq. 2 (H225), but at such low levels it does not drive the product’s classification.

Conclusion on Flammability:

This screenwash does not require a flammable pictogram under CLP as its flash point is just above the threshold and the ethanol content isn’t high enough to drive classification. That’s why the SDS and label have no flammable symbol.

Would be good to confirm the version date.

If your bot were any good it would have spotted the information provided by the OP was current according to CLP.
