This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the closed-cup flash point of
combustible liquids having flash points between -30,0 ~C and 70,0 ~C, inclusive. However, the precision
given for this method is only valid for flash points in the range - 5,0 ~C to 66,5 ~C.
This International Standard is not applicable to water-borne paints, which can, however, be tested using
ISO 3679[4].
NOTE 1 See 4.1 for the importance of this test to avoid loss of volatile materials.
NOTE 2 Liquids containing halogenated compounds can give anomalous results.
