You describe\nyour material as a highly-concentrated, water-based surfactant solution with a flash point of\n23 cc and a boiling point of greater than 100 cc, which is not capable of sustaining combustion.\nSpecifically, you ask if the material is considered a Class 3 flammable liquid under the HMR.\nAs specified in § 173 .22 of the HMR, it is the shipper' s responsibility to properly class and\npackage a hazardous material. This Office does not normally perform this function. The HMR\ndefine a flammable liquid as having a flash point of not more than 60 cc. Per§ 173.120(a)(3),\nfor your material to be exempted from classification as a Class 3 material, it must have a flash\npoint of greater than 35 cc. Since your material does not have a flash point of greater than\n35 cc, it is the opinion ofthis Office that the material in question is a Class 3 flammable liquid.\nIf experience or other data indicate that the hazard of flammable liquid or combustible liquid\nmaterial is greater or less than indicated by the criteria specified in§ 173.120(a) or (b), the\nAssociate Administrator of Hazardous Materials Safety may revise the classification or make the\nmaterial subject or not subject to the requirements of the HMR (see § 173 .120( d) ).\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nT.

Both the UN and 49CFR standards\nallow exceptions to the classification of flammable liquids (Class 3). According to the above standards, \"liquids with a\nflashpoint greater than 35°C that do not sustain combustion\" are exceptions to the Class 3 definition of a flammable\nliquid.\nOur product is a highly concentrated (40% solids) water-based surfactant solution with the following characteristics:\n• Flash point: 23°C (mainly due to the presence of t-butanol)\n• Boiling point: >100°C\n• Does not support sustained combustibility according to the test protocols of the UN and 49CFR standards. (I\nhave attached the test report from Stresau Laboratory)\nAccording to the test results, we believe our product is not a flammable liquid despite its flash point lower than the 35°C\nmentioned in the standards.\nI would appreciate it if you could give us an official interpretation on whether our product is a Class 3 flammable liquid\nor not?\nKind regards,\nKym Seth\nKym Seth I Manager, Hazard Communication & Product Stewardship I Tyco Fire Protection Products\n2700 Industrial Parkway South, Marinette, WI 54143 USA\nTel: 1-715-735-7411 ext. 73522 I Mobile: 1-715-584-7049 I Fax: 1-715-732-3632\nkseth@tycoint.com\nhttp ://www.tyco.com\nCONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and\nprivileged information or otherwise protected by law.
