Determination of sustained combustibility of liquids (ISO 9038:2013)

This International Standard specifies a pass/fail procedure, at temperatures up to 100 °C, to determine whether or not a liquid product, that would be classified as “flammable” by virtue of its flash point, has the ability to sustain combustion at the temperature or temperatures specified in the appropriate regulations. NOTE 1 Many national and international regulations classify liquids as presenting a flammable hazard on the basis of their flash point, as determined by a recognized method. Some of these regulations allow a derogation if the substance cannot “sustain combustion” at some specified temperature or temperatures. NOTE 2 In connection with the United Nations recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods as well as with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, and also with derived national/EC regulations, temperatures of 60,5 °C and 75,0 °C are specified for this test.[1][2] The procedure is applicable to paints (including water-borne paints), varnishes, paint binders, solvents, petroleum or related products and adhesives, which have a flash point. It is not applicable to painted surfaces in respect of assessing their potential fire hazards. NOTE 3 This test method can be used, in addition to test methods for flash point, in assessing the fire hazard of a product. NOTE 4 Particular care needs to be taken in translating results from this test method to large scale (real life) situations, as liquids in large quantities may not behave in the same way as small samples.

Prüfung der Weiterbrennbarkeit von Flüssigkeiten (ISO 9038:2013)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Ja/nein-Verfahren für Temperaturen bis zu 100 °C fest, mit dem bestimmt wird, ob ein flüssiges Produkt, das auf Grund seines Flammpunktes als „entzündbares“ eingestuft würde, bei der/den in den betreffenden Vorschriften angegebenen Temperatur/en selbstunterhaltend weiterbrennen kann oder nicht.
ANMERKUNG 1      In vielen nationalen und internationalen Vorschriften wird die Entzündungsgefahr von Flüssigkeiten nach ihrem mit einem anerkannten Verfahren bestimmten Flammpunkt klassifiziert. Einige dieser Vorschriften lassen eine Erniedrigung der Gefahrenstufe zu, wenn die Flüssigkeit bei einer bestimmten Temperatur oder bei bestimmten Temperaturen nicht weiterbrennt.
ANMERKUNG 2   Im Zusammenhang mit den Empfehlungen der Vereinten Nationen zum Transport gefährlicher Gütern sowie mit dem global harmonisierten System zur Klassifikation und Kennzeichnung von Chemikalien und auch davon abgeleiteten nationalen/europäischen Regeln sind Temperaturen von 60,5 °C bis 75,0 °C angegeben [1] [2].
Das Verfahren ist anwendbar auf Beschichtungsstoffe (einschließlich wasserverdünnbarer Beschichtungsstoffe), Klarlacke, Lackbindemittel, Lösemittel, Mineralöl- oder ähnliche Produkte und Klebstoffe, die einen Flammpunkt haben. Es ist nicht geeignet, die Brandlast beschichteter Oberflächen zu beurteilen.
ANMERKUNG 3      Dieses Prüfverfahren für das Weiterbrennen kann zusätzlich zum Prüfverfahren für den Flammpunkt zum Beurteilen der Feuergefährlichkeit eines Produktes eingesetzt werden. Besondere Vorsicht ist beim Übertragen von Ergebnissen aus Versuchen im Labormaßstab auf Verhältnisse in der Praxis geboten, da sich große Mengen von Flüssigkeiten anders verhalten können als kleine Proben, da die Geometrie und das Verhältnis von Oberfläche zu Volumen die Wärmeleitung und die Verdampfungsgeschwindigkeit beeinflussen.

Détermination de la combustion entretenue des liquides (ISO 9038:2013)

L'ISO 9038:2013 spécifie un mode opératoire de type «tout ou rien», applicable jusqu'à 100 °C, qui vise à déterminer si un produit liquide, qui serait classé comme «inflammable» du fait de son point d'éclair, a la capacité d'entretenir une combustion à la température ou aux températures spécifiées dans les règlements pertinents.
Cette méthode est applicable aux peintures (y compris peintures en phase aqueuse), vernis, liants, solvants, produits pétroliers ou apparentés et adhésifs, qui ont un point d'éclair. Elle n'est pas applicable aux surfaces peintes, eu égard à l'évaluation du danger d'incendie qu'elles présentent.

Preskus neprekinjene gorljivosti tekočin (ISO 9038:2013)

Ta mednarodni standard določa postopek, ki ga je mogoče uspešno/neuspešno opraviti, pri temperaturah do 100 °C, da se ugotovi, ali lahko tekoč izdelek, ki bi se kvalificiral kot »vnetljiv« glede na njegovo plamenišče, ohranja zgorevanje pri temperaturi ali temperaturah, določenih v ustreznih predpisih. OPOMBA 1 Številni nacionalni in mednarodni predpisi klasificirajo tekočine kot nevarne za vžig na podlagi njihovega plamenišča, kot določa priznana metoda. Nekateri od teh predpisov dopuščajo odstopanje, če snov ne more »ohranjati zgorevanja« pri neki določeni temperaturi ali temperaturah. OPOMBA 2 V povezavi s priporočili Združenih narodov o prevozu nevarnega blaga in z globalno usklajenim sistemom za razvrščanje in označevanje ter izpeljanimi nacionalnimi predpisi/predpisi ES so za ta preskus določene temperature med 60,5 °C in 75,0 °C.[1][2] Postopek se uporablja za vse barve (vključno z barvami na vodni osnovi), lake, vezivna sredstva za barve, topila, petrolej in povezane izdelke ter lepila s plameniščem. Ne uporablja se za barvane površine, kar zadeva ocenjevanje njihove potencialne nevarnosti vžiga. OPOMBA 3 To preskusno metodo je mogoče poleg preskusne metode za plamenišče uporabiti pri ocenjevanju nevarnosti vžiga izdelka. OPOMBA 4 Posebno pozornost je treba nameniti pretvarjanju rezultatov te preskusne metode v obsežne (resnične) situacije, saj se tekočine v velikih količinah morda ne obnašajo enako kot pri malih vzorcih.

Introduction
A product with a flash point within a given range can continue to burn after initial ignition, while a
similar product, although it has a similar flash point, may not. This International Standard describes a
method for discriminating between those products that sustain combustion and those that do not.
The method determines whether a flammable product, when maintained at a selected test temperature,
gives off sufficient flammable vapour to cause ignition when an ignition source is applied, and continues
to generate sufficient vapour to burn when the ignition source is removed.
This test method does not determine the flash point of the product under test but, by means of a pass/fail
procedure, merely determines if it sustains combustion (fail) at a selected test temperature, as can be
required to comply with laws or regulations relating to the storage, transport and use of flammable
products. Before performing this test, it will normally be necessary to determine either the actual flash
point of the material or the temperature range in which the flash point is located.
The apparatus specified in this International Standard enables a result to be determined by a rapid
procedure using a small test portion (2 ml).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9038:2013(E)
Determination of sustained combustibility of liquids
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations
or equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a pass/fail procedure, at temperatures up to 100 °C, to determine
whether or not a liquid product, that would be classified as “flammable” by virtue of its flash point, has the
ability to sustain combustion at the temperature or temperatures specified in the appropriate regulations.
NOTE 1 Many national and international regulations classify liquids as presenting a flammable hazard on the
basis of their flash point, as determined by a recognized method. Some of these regulations allow a derogation if
the substance cannot “sustain combustion” at some specified temperature or temperatures.
NOTE 2 In connection with the United Nations recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods as
well as with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, and also with derived
[1][2]
national/EC regulations, temperatures of 60,5 °C and 75,0 °C are specified for this test.
The procedure is applicable to paints (including water-borne paints), varnishes, paint binders, solvents,
petroleum or related products and adhesives, which have a flash point. It is not applicable to painted
surfaces in respect of assessing their potential fire hazards.
NOTE 3 This test method can be used, in addition to test methods for flash point, in assessing the fire hazard
of a product.
NOTE 4 Particular care needs to be taken in translating results from this test method to large scale (real life)
situations, as liquids in large quantities may not behave in the same way as small samples.
