  • AS1940 definitions for combustible liquids: AS1940 includes a definition for combustible liquids as any liquid, other than a flammable liquid, that has a flash point, and has a fire point that is less than its boiling point. For the purposes of AS1940, combustible liquids are divided into two classes as follows:

    • Class C1 - a combustible liquid that has a closed cup flashpoint of greater than 60°C and no greater than 93°C.

    • Class C2 - a combustible liquid that has a flashpoint exceeding 93°C or has been excluded from being a flammable liquid by any of the criteria for sustaining combustion
