Title: Modernizing Ignitable Liquids Determinations | |
Abstract: On July 7, 2020, the EPA finalized the Modernizing Ignitable Liquids Determinations rule. Specifically, the EPA finalized: (1) updates to the flash point test methods to include current ASTM International (ASTM) standards that use modern instrumentation and non-mercury thermometers; (2) the codification of existing guidance to define "aqueous" as "50% water by weight." However, the EPA did not finalize other guidance proposed for codification and instead explained in the preamble how existing guidance for the aqueous alcohol exclusion and sampling of multiple phase wastes applies; (3) updates to correct cross references to U.S. Department of Transportation regulations and to remove obsolete information in the ignitability regulation; and (4) alternatives to the use of mercury thermometers in the air sampling and stack emissions methods 0010, 0011, 0020, 0023A, and 0051 in SW-846. The final rule became effective on September 8, 2020. | |
