A '''flammable liquid''' is a liquid with [[flash point]] of not more than 60.5 °C (141 °F), or any material in a [[Liquid|liquid phase]] with a flash point at or above 37.8 °C (100 °F) that is intentionally heated and offered for transportation or transported at or above its flash point in a bulk packaging.

==Divisions==

'''Class 3''': Flammable Liquids

A [[flammable liquid]] is a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60 °C (140 °F), or any material in a liquid phase with a [[flash point]] at or above 37.8 °C (100 °F) 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.
#Any mixture having one or more components with a flash point of 60.5 °C (141 °F) 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.
#Any liquid with a flash point greater than 35 °C (95 °F) which does not sustain combustion according to [[ASTM 4206]] or the procedure in Appendix H of this part.
#Any liquid with a flash point greater than 35 °C (95 °F) and with a [[fire point]] greater than 100 °C (212 °F) according to [[ISO 2592]].
#Any liquid with a flash point greater than 35 °C (95 °F) which is in a water-miscible solution with a [[water content]] of more than 90 percent by mass.

==Alternate placards and labeling==

*'''Combustible Liquids''':
**A combustible liquid means any liquid that does not meet the definition of any other [[Dangerous goods|hazard class]] specified in this subchapter and has a flash point above 60.5 °C (141 °F) and below 93 °C (200 °F).
**A flammable liquid with a flash point at or above 38 °C (100 °F) 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 [[Mode of transport|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.
*'''Gasoline''': This placard is an alternative placard, which may be used for [[gasoline]] in non-bulk quantities.
*'''Fuel Oil''': This placard is an alternative placard, which may be used for [[fuel oil]] in non-bulk quantities.
