This International Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the flash point of chemicals, lube oils, aviation turbine fuel, diesel fuel, diesel/biodiesel blends and other liquids by a continuously closed cup tester utilizing a specimen size of 2 ml, cup size of 7 ml, with a heating rate of 2.5 °C per minute. This flash point test method is a dynamic method and depends on definite rates of temperature increase. It is one of the many flash point test methods available and every flash point test method, including this one, is an empirical method. It utilises an electric arc as the ignitor and detects the flash point by pressure measurement.This test method is suitable for testing samples with a flash point from 22,5 °C to 235,5 °C. Flash point determinations below 22,5 °C and above 235,5 °C may be performed, but the precision has not been determined.

This document specifies the quality characteristics of liquid or gaseous hydrogen fuel dispensed at hydrogen refuelling stations for use in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell vehicle systems, and the corresponding quality assurance considerations for ensuring uniformity of the hydrogen fuel.

This document specifies a gas chromatographic method for ethanol, in which higher alcohols (propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol (iso-butanol), 2-methylbutan-1-ol, and 3-methylbutan-1-ol) from (0,1 up to 2,5) mass percentage, methanol from (0,1 up to 3) mass percentage and other impurities, in the range from (0,1 up to 2) mass percentage are determined. Impurities are all the compounds not attributed to the groups of higher alcohols or methanol. NOTE 1 The European ethanol blending component specification [1] sets a limit for the combined result of ethanol + higher alcohols, not the ethanol content itself. The method is developed for non-denatured ethanol samples. With sufficient attention to correct separation of the higher alcohols and other components, determination of hydrocarbons in ethanol that contains denaturants as per EN 15376[1] is possible. Water, if present in the sample, is not included in this analysis, because a signal for water is not visible in the chromatogram. Therefore, if "alcohol content" is called up in a specification, water needs to be considered separately in the calculations. NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the term “% (m/m)” is used to represent the mass percentage or mass fraction (ω).
