This British Standard specifies the requirements for two categories of mineral solvents for use in paints and varnishes, and for other purposes, as follows:
Type A, having an aromatics content below 25 % (v/v);
Type B, having an aromatics content of 25 % to 50 % (v/v).
These materials meet the requirements of the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972 as not constituting \'highly flammable liquids\'.
