Extremely flammable
liquids have a flash point less than 0°C
and a boiling point less than or equal to 35°C.
Highly flammable substances include:
(a) those which may become hot and finally catch fire in
contact with air
at ambient temperature without application of energy.
(b) those which may readily catch fire after brief
contact with a source of ignition and which continue to
burn or to be consumed after removal of the source of
ignition.
(c) those which are gaseous and flammable in air at
normal pressure.
(d) those in contact with water or damp air which evolve
highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities.
(e) liquids have a flash point below 21°C
Flammable liquids are those having a flash point equal
to or greater
than 21°C and less than or equal to 55°C. |
