Class 3: Flammable Liquids
A flammable liquid is a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60.5C (141F), or any material in a
liquid phase with a flash point at or above 37.8C (100F) that is intentionally heated and offered for
transportation or transported at or above its flash point in a bulk packaging. The following exceptions apply:
Any liquid meeting one of the definitions specified in 49CFR 173.115. 1.
Any mixture having one or more components with a flash point of 60.5C (141F) or higher, that make
up at least 99 percent of the total volume of the mixture, if the mixture is not offered for transportation
or transported at or above its flash point.
2.
Any liquid with a flash point greater than 35C (95F) which does not sustain combustion according to
ASTM 4206 or the procedure in Appendix H of this part.
3.
Any liquid with a flash point greater than 35C (95F) and with a fire point greater than 100C (212F)
according to ISO 2592.
4.
Any liquid with a flash point greater than 35C (95F) which is in a water-miscible solution with a
water content of more than 90 percent by mass.
5.
Flash Point: The flash point is the minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor within a test
vessel in sufficient concentration to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid.

Combustible Liquids:
A combustible liquid means any liquid that does not meet the definition of any other hazard
class specified in this subchapter and has a flash point above 60.5C (141F) and below 93C
(200F).
A flammable liquid with a flash point at or above 38C (100F) that does not meet the definition
of any other hazard class may be reclassed as a combustible liquid. This provision does not
apply to transportation by vessel or aircraft, except where other means of transportation is
impracticable. An elevated temperature material that meets the definition of a Class 3 material
because it is intentionally heated and offered for transportation or transported at or above its
flash point may not be reclassed as a combustible liquid.
A combustible liquid which does not sustain combustion is not subject to the requirements of
this subchapter as a combustible liquid. Either the test method specified in ASTM 4206 or the
procedure in Appendix H of this part may be used to determine if a material sustains combustion
when heated under test conditions and exposed to an external source of flame.

quantities.
Fuel Oil: This placard is an alternative placard, which may be used for fuel oil in non-bulk quantities.

Key
The absence of any hazard class or division or a blank space in the table indicates that no restrictions
apply.
*: This indicates that segregation among different Class 1 materials is governed by the compatibility
table in 49CFR 177.848(f)
X: These materials may not be loaded, transported, or stored together in the same transport vehicle
or storage facility during the course of transportation.
O: Indicates that these materials may not be loaded, transported or stored together in the same
transport vehicle or storage facility during the course of transportation, unless separated in a manner
that, in the event of leakage from packages under conditions normally incident to transportation,
commingling of hazardous materials would not occur.
A: This note means that, notwithstanding the requirements of the letter 'X', ammonium nitrate
fertilizer may be loaded or stored with Division 1.1 or Division 1.5 materials.
