Posted By Ian Stone I have before me a MSDS for a cleaning solvent. Whilst reading through the information I found this sentance: "the flash point is given at >55 C, it is not classed as flammable for supply, but is classed as flammable for transport" How can this be classed as flammable one minute and not the next?? Thanks Ian Im probably missing something really simple here!!

Posted By Gavin The risk when transproting and using a product are different. For example, you might expect a larger volume of product spill during an accident, with potentially immediate contact with the hot components of a vehicle engine. When compared with its intended use the risk of fire could be greater and hence it is placed in a risk band that ensures additional precautions are taken during transport. Or it could simply be that the standards have not be compared and standardised. I dare say that it would be categorised differently by IATA for air transport! So there you have it, either a cunning risk based approach to flammability classification of another Brussels born Euro-conspiracy!!
