iii) Flammable Substances

a) Flammable Gases
Substances which in the gaseous state at normal pressure and mixed with air
become flammable and the boiling point of which at normal pressure is 20°C or
below;
b) Highly Flammable Liquids
Substances which have a flash point lower than 21°C and the boiling point of
which at normal pressure is above 20°C; and
c) Flammable Liquids
Substances which have a flash point lower than 55°C and which remain liquid
under pressure and where under particular processing conditions such as high
pressure and high temperature, may create major accident hazards.

iv) Explosive Substances
Substances which may explode under the effect of flame or which are more sensitive
to shock or friction than dinitrobenzene.

v) Oxidizing Substances
Substances which give rise to highly exothermic reaction when in contact with other
substances particularly flammable substances.

2.1.2 Threshold Quantities

The corresponding threshold quantities of the hazardous substances are described in
Schedule 2 of the Regulations. Part 1 of this Schedule lists the named substances,
which are categorized in four main groups: toxic substances < 1 ton; toxic substances >
1 ton; highly reactive substances; and explosive substances.

Categories of substances and preparation not specifically named in Part 1 are provided
in Part 2. This is summarized and reproduced below.

The quantities of different substances and preparations of the same category are
cumulative. Where there is more than one category specified in the same entry, the
quantities of all substances and preparations of the specified categories in that entry
shall be summed up.
