This International Standard specifies a method for determining the flashpoint of a paint, varnish, paint binder, solvent, petroleum or a related product and makes allowance for deviations from standard atmospheric pressure.

The method is suitable for use over the temperature range 5 to 110 °C, although some of the apparatus listed in Annex A cannot cover all of this range using the thermometer supplied with the apparatus.

NOTE 1 In some countries, existing regulations may require the use of other methods over at least a part of the temperature range 5 to 110 °C.

NOTE 2 Care should be taken in the interpretation of results obtained from solvent mixtures containing halogenated hydrocarbons (see clause 0).
