Flammable liquids may seem like one of the simplest physical hazards to classify—determine a substance's flash point and initial boiling point and you'll have everything you need. However, this information is not always available online, as is often the case with company-made mixtures, requiring classifiers to determine flash and boiling points experimentally or via calculation. Both of these procedures must be conducted according to strict regulatory standards.
The GHS Purple Book and the Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria can be difficult to navigate and understand fully. That's why ERA’s experts have prepared a 17-page, straight-to-the-point guide that delivers all the information classifiers need in order to identify and accurately classify flammable liquids.
This free guide will provide you with:
- Definitions and classification criteria for flammable liquids used by the GHS and the CLP
- The steps to follow when flash point and boiling point data for a given substance or mixture are not available in the literature
- Decision logic diagrams for flammable liquid classification according to GHS and CLP criteria
- The symbols, signal words, and hazard statements that you should include on a label when classifying a flammable liquid
