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

ISO 9038:2013 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.
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.

Bestimmung 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 „entzündbar“ 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 erlauben Erleichterungen, wenn die Flüssigkeit bei einer bestimmten Temperatur oder bei bestimmten Temperaturen nicht „weiterbrennt“.
ANMERKUNG 2   In den Empfehlungen der Vereinten Nationen zum Transport gefährlicher Güter sowie im global harmonisierten System zur Klassifizierung und Kennzeichnung von Chemikalien und in den daraus abgeleiteten und in nationales/europäisches Recht übernommenen Vorschriften sind dafür Temperaturen von 60,5 °C und 75,0 °C angegeben [1] [2].
Das Verfahren ist anwendbar auf Beschichtungsstoffe (einschließlich wasserverdünnbarer Beschichtungs-stoffe), Klarlacke, Lackbindemittel, Lösemittel, Mineralöl- oder ähnliche Produkte und Klebstoffe, die einen Flammpunkt haben. Es ist nicht geeignet, die Brandgefahr beschichteter Oberflächen zu beurteilen.
ANMERKUNG 3      Zusätzlich zur Bestimmung des Flammpunktes kann dieses Prüfverfahren zum Beurteilen der Brand¬gefahr eines Produktes herangezogen werden.
ANMERKUNG 4      Besondere Vorsicht ist beim Übertragen von Ergebnissen dieses Prüfverfahrens auf Verhältnisse in der Praxis geboten, da sich große Mengen von Flüssigkeiten anders verhalten können als kleine Proben.

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.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

ISO 9038:2013(E)
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).

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 Labe
