本国际标准规定了一种确定涂料，清漆，油漆粘合剂，溶剂，石油或相关产品在保持在选定的平衡温度下并在试验条件下是否发出足够的可燃性蒸气以在施用以标准方式施加外部火焰源。 本国际标准不适用于水性涂料，但可以使用ISO 3680进行测试。 该方法适用于-30°C至110°C的温度范围，具体取决于使用表1中列出的不同仪器。 应该谨慎地考虑从含有卤代烃的溶剂混合物获得的结果的解释，因为这些混合物可能会产生异常结果

This International Standard specifies a method to determine if paints, varnishes, paint binders, solvents, petroleum or related products, when maintained at a selected equilibrium temperature and under the conditions of the test, give off sufficient flammable vapour to cause ignition on application of an external source of flame applied in a standard manner. This International Standard is not applicable to water-borne paints which may, however, be tested using ISO 3680. The method is suitable for use over the temperature range -30 °C to 110 °C, depending on the use of different apparatus listed in Table 1. The interpretation of results obtained from solvent mixtures containing halogenated hydrocarbons, should be considered with caution, as these mixtures can give anomalous results.
