OSHA Flammable/Combustible Liquid Classification. (29 CFR 1910.106). Flammable/combustible liquid is a standard classification used to identify the risks of fire or explosion associated with a liquid. Flammable liquids (with a flash point below 100F(38 C) are class I liquids and are divided into the following classes: class IA--flash point below 73 F(22.8 C), boiling point below 100 F(38 C); class IB--flash point below 73 F(22.8 C), boiling point at or above 100 F(38 C); and class IC--flash point at or above 73 F(22.8 C), boiling point below 100 F(38 C). Combustible liquids (with a flash point at or above 100 F) are divided into two classes: class II, with flash point at or above 100 F(38 C) and below 140 F(60 C), except any mixture having components with flash points of 200 F (93.3 C) or higher, the volume of which makes up 99% or more of the total volume of the mixture; and class III, with flash point at or above 140 F(60 C). Class III liquids are divided into two subclasses: class IIIA, with flash point at or above 140 F(60 C) and below 200 F(93.3 C), except any mixture having components with flash points of 200 F(93.3 C) or higher, the volume of which makes up 99% or more of the total volume of the mixture; and class IIIB, with flash point at or above 200 F(93.3 C).

La notion de liquides inflammables/combustibles figure dans une classification normalisée qui sert à identifier les risques d'incendie ou d'explosion associés à un liquide. Les liquides inflammables (dont le point d'éclair est inférieur à 100 F(38 C] appartiennent à la classe I et sont divisés en trois sous-classes : classe IA -- point d'éclair inférieur à 73 F(22.8 C), point d'ébullition inférieur à 100 F(38 C), classe IB -- point d'éclair inférieur à 73 F(22.8 C), point d'ébullition à 100 F(38 C) ou plus; et classe IC -- point d'éclair à 73 F(22.8 C) ou plus, point d'ébullition inférieur à 100 F(38 C). Les liquides combustibles (point d'éclair à 100 F ou plus) sont divisés en deux classes : classe II -- point d'éclair entre 100 F(38 C) et 140 F(60 C), sauf les mélanges dont les constituants ont des points d'éclair de 200 F(93.3 C) ou plus, dont le volume constitue 99% ou plus du volume total du mélange; et classe III -- point d'éclair à 140 F(60 C) ou plus. Les liquides de la classe III sont divisés en deux sous-classes : classe IIIA -- point d'éclair entre 140 F(60 C) et 200 F(93.3 C), sauf les mélanges dont les constituants ont des points d'éclair de 200 F(93.3 C) ou plus, dont le volume constitue 99% ou plus du volume total du mélange; et classe IIIB -- point d'éclair à 200 F(93.3 C) ou plus.
