Utah Admin. Code R315-261-21 - Characteristics of Hazardous Waste - Characteristic of Ignitability
(a) A solid waste exhibits the characteristic
of ignitability if a representative sample of the waste has any of the
properties listed in Subsections
R315-261-21(a)(1)
through R315-261-21(a)(4):
(1) It is a liquid, other than a solution
containing less than 24% alcohol by volume and at least 50% water by weight,
that has a flash point less than 60 degrees C, that is 140 degrees F, as
determined by using one of the following ASTM Standards: ASTM D 93-79, D 93-80,
ASTM D 3278-78, D8174-18, or D8175-18 as specified in SW-846 Test Methods 1010B
or 1020C, which are incorporated by reference, see Section
R315-260-11.
(2) It is not a liquid and is capable, under
standard temperature and pressure, of causing fire through friction, absorption
of moisture or spontaneous chemical changes and, if ignited, burns so
vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard.
(3) It is an ignitable compressed gas.
(i) The term "compressed gas" shall designate
any material or mixture having in the container an absolute pressure exceeding
40 p.s.i. at 70 degrees Fahrenheit or, regardless of the pressure at 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, having an absolute pressure exceeding 104 p.s.i. at 130 degrees
Fahrenheit, or any liquid flammable material having a vapor pressure exceeding
40 p.s.i. absolute at 100 degrees Fahrenheit as determined by ASTM Test
D-323.
(ii) A compressed gas shall
be characterized as ignitable if any one of the conditions listed in Subsection
R315-261-21(a)(3)(ii)(A)
or R315-261-21(a)(3)(ii)(B)
occurs:
(A) Either a mixture of 13% or less,
by volume, with air forms a flammable mixture or the flammable range with air
is wider than 12% regardless of the lower limit. These limits shall be
determined at atmospheric temperature and pressure. The method of sampling and
test procedure shall be the ASTM E681-85, incorporated by reference, see
Section R315-260-11, or other equivalent
methods approved by the Associate Administrator, Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
(B) It is determined to be flammable or
extremely flammable using 49
CFR 173.115(l).
(4) It is an oxidizer.
An oxidizer for Section
R315-261-21 is a substance such
as a chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, or a nitrate, that yields
oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter.
(i) An organic compound containing the
bivalent -O-O- structure and that may be considered a derivative of hydrogen
peroxide where one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic
radicals shall be classed as an organic peroxide unless:
(A) the material meets the definition of a
Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosive, as defined in Subsection
R315-261-23(a)(8),
in which case it shall be classed as an explosive;
(B) the material is forbidden to be offered
for transportation according to
49 CFR
172.101 and
49 CFR
173.21;
(C) it is determined that the predominant
hazard of the material containing an organic peroxide is other than that of an
organic peroxide; or
(D) according
to data on file with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
in the U.S. Department of Transportation, it has been determined that the
material does not present a hazard in transportation.
(b) A solid waste that
exhibits the characteristic of ignitability has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number
of D001.
