## REGULATIONS

REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee ( 1 ),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty ( 2 ),

Whereas:

(1) This Regulation should ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment as well as the free movement of chemical substances, mixtures and certain specific articles, while enhancing competitiveness and innovation.

(2) The efficient functioning of the internal market for substances, mixtures and those articles can be achieved only if the requirements applicable to them do not differ significantly between Member States.

(3) A high level of human health and environmental protection should be ensured in the approximation of legislation on the criteria for classification and labelling of substances andmixtures, with the goal of achieving sustainable development. (4) Trade in substances and mixtures is an issue relating not only to the internal market, but also to the global market. Enterprises should therefore benefit from the global harmonisation of rules for classification and labelling and from consistency between, on the one hand, the rules for classification and labelling for supply and use and, on the other hand, those for transport.

(5) With a view to facilitating worldwide trade while protecting human health and the environment, harmonised criteria for classification and labelling have been carefully developed over a period of 12 years within the United Nations (UN) structure, resulting in the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (hereinafter referred to as ‘ the GHS ’ ).

(6) This Regulation follows various declarations whereby the Community confirmed its intention to contribute to the global harmonisation of criteria for classification and labelling, not only at UN level, but also through the incorporation of the internationally agreed GHS criteria into Community law.

(7) The benefits for enterprises will increase as more countries in the world adopt the GHS criteria in their legislation. The Community should be at the forefront of this process to encourage other countries to follow and with the aim of providing a competitive advantage to industry in the Community.

(8) Therefore it is essential to harmonise the provisions and criteria for the classification and labelling of substances,mixtures and certain specific articles within the Community, taking into account the classification criteria and labelling rules of the GHS, but also by building on the 40 years of experience obtained through implementation of existing Community chemicals legislation and maintaining 31.12.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 353/1

2.6.4. Additional Classification Considerations

2.6.4.1. For the classification of flammable liquids data on flash point and initial boiling point are needed. Data can be determined by testing, found in literature or calculated. If data are not available, the flash point and the initial boiling point shall be determined through testing. For flash point determination a closed-cup method shall be used. L 353/60 EN Official Journal of the European Union 31.12.2008



### RI2.6.4.2. In the case of mixtures ( 1 ) containing known flammable liquids in defined concentrations, although they may contain non-volatile components e.g. polymers, additives, the flash point need not be determined experimentally if the calculated flash point of the mixture, using the method given in 2.6.4.3, is at least 5 o C ( 2 ) greater than the relevant classification criterion and provided that:

(a) the composition of the mixture is accurately known (if the material has a specified range of composition, the composition with the lowest calculated flash point shall be selected for assessment);

(b) the lower explosion limit of each component is known (an appropriate correlation has to be applied when these data are extrapolated to other temperatures than test conditions) as well as a method for calculating the lower explosion limit;

(c) the temperature dependence of the saturated vapour pressure and of the activity coefficient is known for each component as present in the mixture;

(d) the liquid phase is homogeneous.

2.6.4.3. One suitable method is described in Gmehling and Rasmussen (Ind. Eng. Fundament, 21, 186, (1982)). For a mixture containing non-volatile components the flash point is calculated from the volatile components. It is considered that a non-volatile component only slightly decreases the partial pressure of the solvents and the calculated flash point is only slightly below the measured value.

2.6.4.4. Possible test methods for determining the flash point of flammable liquids are listed in Table 2.6.3.

Table 2.6.3 Methods for determining the flash point of flammable liquids European standards: EN ISO 1516 as amended Determination of flash/no flash

— Closed cup equilibrium method EN ISO 1523 as amended Determination of flash point

— Closed cup equilibrium method EN ISO 2719 as amended Determination of flash point

— Pensky-Martens closed cup method EN ISO 3679 as amended Determination of flash point

— Rapid equilibrium closed cup method EN ISO 3680 as amended Determination of flash/no flash

— Rapid equilibrium closed cup method EN ISO 13736 as amended Petroleum products and other liquids

— Determination of flash point

— Abel closed cup method National standards: Association française de normalisation, AFNOR: NF M07-036 as amended Détermination du point d'éclair

— Vase clos Abel-Pensky (identical to DIN 51755) British Standards Institute, BS 2000 Part 170 as amended (identical to EN ISO 13736)Deutsches Institut für Normung DIN 51755 (flash points below 65 C) as amended Prüfung von Mineralölen und anderen brennbaren Flüssigkeiten; Bestimmung des Flammpunktes im geschlossenen Tiegel, nach Abel-Pensky (identical to NF M07-036) 31.12.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 353/61

( 1 ) To date, the calculation method has been validated for mixtures containing up to 6 volatile components. These components may be flammable liquids like hydrocarbons, ethers, alcohols, esters (except acrylates), and water. It is however not yet validated for mixtures containing halogenated sulphurous, and/or phosphoric compounds as well as reactive acrylates. ( 2 ) If the calculated flash point is less than 5 o C greater than the relevant classification criterion, the calculation method may not be used and the flash point should be determined experimentally.


### RI2.6.4.5. Liquids with a flash point of more than 35 o C need not be classified in Category 3 if negative results have been obtained in the sustained combustibility test L.2, Part III, section 32 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria.

2.7. Flammable solids

2.7.1. Definition
2.7.1.1. A flammable solid means a solid which is readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction.

Readily combustible solids are powdered, granular, or pasty substances or mixtures which are dangerous if they can be easily ignited by brief contact with an ignition source, such as a burning match, and if the flame spreads rapidly.

2.7.2. Classification criteria
2.7.2.1. Powdered, granular or pasty substances or mixtures (except powders of metals or metal alloys

— see 2.7.2.2) shall be classified as readily combustible solids when the time of burning of one or more of the test runs, performed in accordance with the test method described in Part III, sub-section 33.2.1, of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, is less than 45 seconds or the rate of burning is more than 2,2 mm/s.

2.7.2.2. Powders of metals or metal alloys shall be classified as flammable solids when they can be ignited and the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in 10 minutes or less.

2.7.2.3. A flammable solid shall be classified in one of the two categories for this class using Method N.1 as described in 33.2.1 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria in accordance with Table 2.7.1:

Table 2.7.1 Criteria for flammable solids

Category Cr iteria

1 Burning rate test Substances and mixtures other than metal powders: (a) wetted zone does not stop fire and (b) burning time < 45 seconds or burning rate > 2,2 mm/s Metal powders burning time ≤ 5 minutes

2 Burning rate test Substances and mixtures other than metal powders: (a) wetted zone stops the fire for at least 4 minutes and (b) burning time < 45 seconds or burning rate > 2,2 mm/s Metal powders burning time > 5 minutes and ≤ 10 minutes

Note
The test shall be performed on the substance or mixture in its physical form as presented. If, for example, for the purposes of supply or transport, the same chemical is to be presented in a physical form different from that which was tested and which is considered likely to materially alter its performance in a classification test, the substance shall also be tested in the new form. L 353/62 EN Official Journal of the European Union 31.12.2008

### 59 IMDG Code (Amdt. 36-12) 

# Chapter 2.3 Class 3 – Flammable liquids

2.3.0 Introductory note The flashpoint of a flammable liquid may be altered by the presence of an impurity. The substances listed in class 3 in the Dangerous Goods List in chapter 3.2 shall generally be regarded as chemically pure. Since commercial products may contain added substances or impurities, flashpoints may vary, and this may havean effect on classification or determination of the packing group for the product. In the event of doubt regarding the classification or packing group of a substance, the flashpoint of the substance shall be determined experimentally.


### 2.3.1 Definitions and general provisions
2.3.1.1 Class 3 includes the following substances: .1 flammable liquids (see 2.3.1.2 and 2.3.1.3); .2 liquid desensitized explosives (see 2.3.1.4).
2.3.1.2 Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (such as paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc., but not including substances which, on account of their other dangerous characteristics, have been included in other classes) which give off a flammable vapour at or below 60 ° C closed-cup test (corresponding to 65.6 ° C open-cup test), normally referred to as the “flashpoint”. This also includes: .1 liquids offered for transport at temperatures at or above their flashpoint; and .2 substances transported or offered for transport at elevated temperatures in a liquid state, which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures equal to or below the maximum transport temperature.
2.3.1.3 However, the provisions of this Code need not apply to such liquids with a flashpoint of more than 35 ° C which do not sustain combustion. Liquids are considered to be unable to sustain combustion for the purposes of the Code if: .1 they have passed the suitable combustibility test (see the Sustained Combustibility Test prescribed in part III, 32.5.2 of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria ); or .2 their fire point according to ISO 2592:1973 is greater than 100 ° C; or .3 they are water-miscible solutions with a water content of more than 90%, by mass.
2.3.1.4 Liquid desensitized explosives are explosive substances which are dissolved or suspended in water or other liquid substances, to form a homogeneous liquid mixture to suppress their explosive properties. Entries in the Dangerous Goods List for liquid desensitized explosives are UN 1204, UN 2059, UN 3064, UN 3343, UN 3357 and UN 3379.


### 2.3.2 Assignment of packing group
2.3.2.1 The c riteria in 2.3.2.6 are used to determine the hazard grouping of a liquid that presents a risk due to flammability.
2.3.2.1.1 For liquids whose only risk is flammability, the packing group for the substance is the hazard grouping shown in 2.3.2.6.
2.3.2.1.2 For a liquid with additional risk(s), the hazard group determined from 2.3.2.6 and the hazard group based on the severity of the additional risk(s) shall be considered, and the classification and packing group determined in accordance with the provisions in chapter 2.0.



### RI However, the provisions of this Code need not apply to such liquids with a flashpoint of more than 35 ° C which do not sustain combustion. Liquids are considered to be unable to sustain combustion for the purposes o f the C ode if :

. 1 they have passed the suitable combustibility test (s ee the Sustained Combustibility Test prescribed in p art III, 32.5.2 o f the United Nation s Manual of Tests and C riteria );

### SETAFLASH SMALL SCALE OPEN CUP FLASH POINT



## 31000-0 SETAFLASH SERIES 3 OPEN CUP TESTER Test methods specified under UN and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and others, determine whether a liquid sustains combustion when heated and exposed to a flame under specified test conditions. Certain substances classified as Flammable by Closed Cup Flash Point Testing may be reclassified as non-flammable by combustibility testing. This has significant potential cost implications for the packaging, storage and shipping of many substances.

ASTM D4206; BS 3900 Part A11; ISO 9038; UN Class 3 Test L. 3; CFR 49-173.120; IATA Dangerous Goods Regs. Section 3.3.5; Health and Safety Comm. Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail App. B ● Flash point test in less than 2 minutes ● Small sample size - 2ml ● Ambient to 300°C temperature range ● Audible and on-screen prompts ● Portable operation ● Simple calibration The Setaflash 31000-0 is a simple to use and reliable open cup tester for flash/no flash, finite determinations or sustained combustion tests within a range of ambient to 300°C. The manually operated flame sweeping arm is supplied from an integral gas tank that is filled using a standard butane (lighter) refill cartridge. The flash or sustained combustion characteristics of the sample are observed visually while the test flame is passed over the sample. All functions are accessed via a two button keypad and the Seta Multifunctional And Rotational Test (SMART) control feature. The digital display shows test parameters and instrument status. An audible prompt is sounded when an action is required from the operator. The instrument is lightweight and suitable for mobile use when operated from the optional 12 volt power supply adaptor. SUPPLIED WITH: 2ml syringe, test flame height gauge, mains lead and instruction manual.



### SPECIFICATIONS Temperature Range: Ambient to 300°C Sample Size: 2ml Test Time: 1 to 99 minutes Default Values: 1 minute for flash points up to 100°C 2 minutes for flash points between 100 to 300°C Cup Material: Blackened Aluminium Voltage: 110/120V or 220/240V, 50/60Hz (switchable) 12V using optional power supply Size (HxWxD): 25.6 x 28 x 25.6cm Weight: 4kg SETAPLUS EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE
