This standard PD CEN/TR 17309:2019 Test methods for environmental characterization of solid matrices. Guide to flash point testing is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.030.01 Wastes in general
• 13.220.40 Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products

The flash point test can be summarised as a procedure where a test portion is introduced into a temperature controlled test cup and an ignition source is applied to the vapours produced by the test portion to determine if the vapour / air mixture is flammable or at what temperature the vapour / air mixture is flammable.

This document is not intended to be a comprehensive manual on flash point tests and the interpretation of test results, however it covers the key aspects on these subjects.
