ISO 29662 is an international standard on petroleum products that discuss the processes of determination of various important aspects of the liquids. ISO 29662 establishes an overview of test methods in the field to determine the flashpoint and combustibility of petroleum and related products. It presents advice on application and specification development. ISO 29662 is not intended to be a comprehensive manual on flash point and combustibility tests, and the interpretation of test results, however, it covers the key aspects of these subjects.
ISO 29662 on petroleum products and other liquids is beneficial for:
The observed temperature when the flame momentarily ignites the vapour/air mixture is known as Flash Point
ISO 29662 provides information on flash and fire point, sustained combustion and burning, why are flash point and combustibility tests required, which test method should be used, testing environment, test results
As a user of ISO 29662, you can be ensured of the flashpoint and combustibility of petroleum.
ISO 29662 guides you to classify the liquid into a group according to its flammability. This classification is then used to warn of risk and to enable the correct precautions to be taken when using, storing or transporting the liquid.
BS EN IEC 60601‑2‑20:2020 supersedes ISO 29662:2009, which has been withdrawn.
The main technical changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
