This Technical Report is not intended to be a comprehensive manual on flash point tests and the
interpretation of test results, however it covers the key aspects on these subjects.
The flash point test can be summarised as a procedure where a test portion is introduced into a temperature
controlled test cup and an ignition source is applied to the vapours produced by the test portion to determine if
the vapour / air mixture is flammable or at what temperature the vapour / air mixture is flammable.
